Discovery & InventionUniversity Research Programs

University Research Programs fund promising new research, stimulate innovation, and attract outstanding researchers to naval-relevant research projects• The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI)

involves teams of researchers investigating high priority topics and opportunities that intersect more than one traditional technical discipline

• The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) supports university research infrastructure essential to high-quality naval-relevant research

• The Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists & Engineers (PECASE) recognizes and honors extraordinary achievements of young professionals at the outset of their independent research careers in S&T

• The National Security Science & Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF) provides extensive, long-term financial support to distinguished university faculty and staff scientists and engineers to conduct unclassified, basic research on topics of interest to DoD

Discovery & InventionEnterprise Research Programs

Enterprise Research Programs develop scientific and fundamental knowledge, provide the basis for future Naval systems, and maintain the health of the defense scientist and engineer workforce• The Basic Research Challenge (BRC) competitively selects and funds

promising research programs in new areas not addressed by the current basic research program

• The Applied Research Challenge (ARC) stimulates new applied research projects in areas not currently addressed by the departmental core applied research programs and explores feasibility of basic research with high risk and significant potential naval payoffs

• The Young Investigator Program (YIP) supports academic science and engineering faculty who been on tenure track within the last five years and show exceptional promise for doing creative research

Laboratory Research Programs provide naval laboratories the ability to invest in basic research of technical interest to meet laboratory mission elements• In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) enables

laboratories to sponsor focused, high-risk research with potential high payoffs to the Navy and Marine Corps on a discretionary basis

Education & Workforce

16Promote and Develop STEM Workforce & Capabilities

The Education & Workforce portfolio raises awareness of naval career opportunities, attracts and nurtures the future talent pool, and fosters the continued development of the current naval science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce• Develop the workforce and capabilities needed today and

in the future• Emphasize Total Force approach to workforce

development• Align DON STEM portfolio with Federal and Office of the

Secretary of Defense (OSD) directives in order to foster a highly competent and diverse DON STEM talent pipeline
