Fiscal Year 2014 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (YIP) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2014 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Program (YIP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity designed to bring promising early-career university faculty into the Department of the Navy research ecosystem. The program focuses on identifying academic scientists and engineers who have demonstrated unusual potential for creative, high-impact research and who are still at the start of their independent careers. In addition to funding research, the YIP is meant to strengthen long-term ties between outstanding faculty and Navy research priorities, while also supporting the recipients professional development as both researchers and teachers.

Eligibility is aimed at faculty who are in their first or second full-time tenure-track appointment (or a tenure-track-equivalent position) at an institution of higher education. For this FY2014 cycle, applicants must have started their first such appointment on or after November 1, 2008. Eligible applicant organizations include both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers barriers for applicants whose institutions may not be able to contribute additional resources.

Proposed research must align with ONR interests as described under the Science and Technology (ST) Department areas posted on the ONR website (www.onr.navy.mil). ONR indicates that proposals will be considered when they address topics that program officers and division directors view as relevant to Navy needs. A practical feature of this program is that ONR encourages prospective applicants to reach out to the appropriate division director or the program officer responsible for the relevant technical area to discuss ideas in advance. Applicants may also submit brief, informal pre-proposals to support those conversations. These early discussions are positioned as a way to clarify the scope and priorities of ONRs interest areas and to improve the fit between the final proposal and Department of the Navy research objectives.

From a funding and competition perspective, ONR anticipated making about 15 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $9,619,000. The assistance listing associated with this opportunity is CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), and the funding activity category is broadly described as Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument is a grant.

Key dates for this cycle show the opportunity was posted on August 13, 2013, and full proposals were due by January 3, 2014 (the listing notes that white paper or pre-proposal timing, if applicable, should be checked in the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or application instructions). The opportunity was archived on February 2, 2014. Applicants were directed to retrieve the full announcement via Grants.gov by opening the synopsis page and selecting the FULL ANNOUNCEMENT link, and ONR also pointed to an additional information link that aggregates ONR BAAs.

For administrative help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Rebecca Foster, Contract Specialist, reachable at Rebecca.d.foster@navy.mil. For technical issues with the Grants.gov system itself, applicants were instructed to use Grants.gov support rather than ONR.
