Description
The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the fiscal year 2021 (FY21) Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) – Research Collaboration (RC). The program is sponsored and managed by the Basic Research Office, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD [R&E]), awarded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and administered through the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The DoD plans to award FY21 DEPSCoR appropriations through this announcement. DEPSCoR's objectives are to: (1) increase the number of university researchers in eligible States/Territories capable of performing S&E research responsive to the needs of the DoD; and (2) enhance the capabilities of institutions of higher education (IHE) in eligible States/Territories to develop, plan, and execute science and engineering (S&E) research that is relevant to the mission of the DoD, and competitive under the peer-review systems used for awarding Federal research assistance; (3) increase the probability of long-term growth in the competitively awarded financial assistance that IHE in eligible States receive from the Federal Government for S&E research. Consistent with these long‑term objectives of building research infrastructure, the DoD intends to competitively make, and fund from fiscal year 2021 appropriations, multiyear awards for S&E research in areas relevant to the DoD’s mission and important to national security. The Basic Research Office anticipates approximately $12.6 million in total funding will be made available for this program to fully fund at award approximately twenty one (21) grants up to $600,000 (total cost) each. Each grant award will be funded up to $200,000 (total cost) per year for three (3) years. Awards are subject to funding availability. There is no guarantee of an award. The FY21 DEPSCoR - Research Collaboration (RC) competition seeks proposals addressing the following topic areas as detailed in the full announcement in the Related Documents folder: Physics of Sensing Space Propulsion and Power Complex Networks Atomic and Molecular Physics Modeling of Complex Systems Biomathematics Solid Mechanics Environmental Chemistry Electronic Sensing Nanoscale Computing Devices and Systems Marine Mammals and Biology Additive Manufacturing Social Networks and Computational Social Science Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics
