Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2015 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Program (YIP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity designed to find and support early-career university faculty who show strong potential for highly creative research with relevance to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Through this program, ONR aims to bring outstanding new faculty into the Navy's broader research ecosystem, help launch or accelerate their independent research directions, and strengthen their long-term teaching and research careers. The program is positioned within ONR's science and technology mission area and aligns with federal support for basic and applied scientific research.

The opportunity is aimed specifically at academic scientists and engineers who are early in their tenure-track careers. To be eligible under the program description, applicants must be in their first or second full-time tenure-track (or tenure-track equivalent) appointment at an institution of higher education, and they must have started their first such appointment on or after November 1, 2009. The emphasis is on identifying individuals with exceptional promise, meaning ONR is not only looking at the proposed technical work but also at the investigator's trajectory and potential to become a leading contributor to the Navy's research portfolio over time.

Eligible applicant organizations are U.S. institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for new faculty building their first major research programs. The program is listed under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), signaling its placement within the Department of Defense research support structure.

Key administrative details for this FOA include the funding opportunity number ONR 15 FOA 0006 and a posting date of January 14, 2015. The original and current closing date for proposal submission was March 4, 2015, and the opportunity was later archived on April 3, 2015. Additional details and related announcements were directed to the ONR Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) website, which is commonly used by ONR to organize its research topics and solicitation materials.

For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Mary Helen Dent Adams, a Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-254-7288. Grants.gov-related questions were also referenced, reflecting that proposals were expected to be submitted through standard federal grant submission channels.
