Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity intended to fund basic research in science and engineering at U.S. universities, with topics that could be relevant to Department of Defense (DoD) needs. The central idea behind MURI is to accelerate progress in areas important to national defense by supporting research teams that cross traditional academic boundaries, meaning proposals are expected to integrate more than one established discipline in a coordinated way rather than operating as separate, loosely connected projects. The sponsoring agency for this opportunity was the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and the funding activity category was Science and Technology and other Research and Development.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number ONR BAA 12 020, titled "Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative." The funding instrument was a grant, and the program anticipated making about 50 awards. The associated CFDA number listed is 12.800, which corresponds to the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited specifically to U.S. institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled and private universities, and including DoD institutions of higher education, as long as they have degree-granting programs in science and/or engineering. Importantly, the announcement clarified that full proposals could be submitted only by these universities. It also noted that a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) or other University Affiliated Laboratory (UAL) could be eligible only if it is part of a U.S. institution of higher education and is not designated as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC). In other words, the competition was structured to keep universities as the primary applicants and award recipients, with certain university-affiliated entities allowed only under specific organizational conditions.
The timeline for the competition shows it was posted and created on August 29, 2012. The original closing date and the current closing date were both December 10, 2012, indicating there was no extension reflected in the provided data. The archive date was January 9, 2013, meaning that after that date the opportunity was no longer active for new submissions through the normal listings.
