Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2012 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Program (YIP) is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to bring exceptional early-career university researchers into the Navy's broader research ecosystem. The program targets academic scientists and engineers who are just getting established in their careers and who show strong potential to produce original, high-impact research. ONR uses YIP as a way to both support promising work and to build long-term connections between outstanding faculty and the Department of the Navy's research priorities, while also encouraging the recipients' continued growth as researchers and educators.
This opportunity is published under Funding Opportunity Number ONRBAA11-030 and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with the CFDA listing of 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The funding instrument is a grant, and the program anticipated making about 18 awards. The estimated total funding available was $8,500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which generally means proposals are evaluated on their merit and alignment rather than on an institution's ability to contribute additional funds.
Eligibility is focused and fairly specific. While the listing indicates "unrestricted" eligible applicants in a broad sense, the detailed eligibility rules clarify that awards will be made only to U.S. Institutions of Higher Education that award degrees in science, engineering, and/or mathematics. The Principal Investigator (PI) must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or permanent resident as of the proposal due date. In addition, the PI must hold a first or second full-time tenure-track position (or an equivalent tenure-track appointment) at the eligible university. For the FY2012 competition specifically, the PI must have started their first full-time tenure-track (or equivalent) appointment on or after November 1, 2006, which effectively sets the window for who is considered "young" or early-career under this program's definition. The announcement also notes that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to apply or participate, but there is no set-aside of funds reserved specifically for those institutions.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on September 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 22, 2011. The archive date is listed as January 21, 2012, which typically indicates when the listing was formally closed out and moved into an archived status on the portal.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Jennifer Brown, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-588-2432, with a note indicating this is for Grants.gov-related questions or access issues. The notice also references an additional information link pointing to ONR Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), which is where applicants would typically find the full program description, topical areas, proposal formatting requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.
