Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Young Investigator Program
Funding Agency:
- Department of Defense
Proposals addressing research areas (as described in the ONR Science and Technology Department section of ONR's website at 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. Applicants are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to contact the appropriate Program Officer who is the point of contact for a specific technical area to discuss their research ideas before submitting a proposal. A list of most Program Officers and their contact information can be found at: https://www.onr.navy.mil/our-research/technology-areas or at: https://www.onr.navy.mil/our-research/our-program-managers. Brief informal white papers may be submitted to facilitate these discussions but are not required. Such discussions can clarify the content and breadth of the priority research areas and enhance the match between a subsequent proposal and Department of the Navy research needs. Please allow adequate time for such discussions with the ONR Program Officer. The brief informal pre-proposal should be emailed to the ONR Program Officer with ONRYIP@ navy.mil on the cc: line. The ONRYIP@navy.mil need only be cc’d on the first email correspondence. An individual wishing to apply for the Young Investigator Program MUST submit a research proposal and at least one Letter of Support through the appropriate university officials. Refer to Section II.E.1 “Evaluation Criteria” regarding the importance of the Letter(s) of Support in the overall evaluation criteria and Section II.D “Application and Submission Information” regarding its content. Applications received without at least one letter of support will be considered incomplete and will not be considered for award. The research proposal must follow the format described in FOA Section II. D. “Application and Submission Information.” The ONR YIP is a single principal investigator (PI) award. Co-principal investigators (Co-PIs) are not allowed. Tenured faculty are ineligible to apply.
