Office of Naval Research · Opportunity N0001426SF004

Who can apply

• Others

Awards under this NOFO will be made only to U.S. Institutions of Higher Education which award degrees in science, engineering, or mathematics. U.S. Non-profit organizations operating primarily for scientific and educational services may also submit proposals. The Principal Investigator of a proposal must be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (on the date proposals are due), holding a first or second full-time tenure-track or tenure-track-equivalent faculty position at that university, and has received his/her PhD or equivalent degree on or after 01/01/ 2019. The term "national" of the United States includes a native resident of a possession of the United States, such as American Samoa.

About this opportunity

The Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program seeks proposals addressing research areas (as described in the ONR Science and Technology Department section of ONR's website at https://www.onr.navy.mil) which are of interest to ONR Program Officers will be considered. Contact information for each division (a subgroup of an S&T Department) is also listed within the S&T section of the website.

Portfolio context — this listing covers more than this opportunity

This opportunity is funded under Assistance Listing 12.300 (“Basic and Applied Scientific Research”), a broad federal program that made about 903 new awards per year over the last five fiscal years (median award $255k). Those figures describe that whole portfolio — not this specific solicitation, so we don't show them as if they were this opportunity's track record.

Applicant counts per solicitation are not published by any federal agency — no one can honestly sell you that number.
