    Summary

    This announcement seeks proposals from universities to purchase equipment and instrumentation in support of research in areas of interest to the Department of Defense (DoD). DoD interests include the areas of research supported by the Army Research Office (ARO), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). A central purpose of DURIP is to provide equipment and instrumentation to enhance research related education in areas of interest and priority to the DoD. Therefore, your proposal must address the impact of the equipment or instrumentation on your institution's ability to educate students through research in disciplines important to DoD missions. Areas of research interest are published at the following websites:

    Applicants must refer to the websites cited above for detailed technical information and technical goals. Applicants are encouraged to contact the technical Program Managers/Officers (PM/PO) listed in the cited announcements before submitting proposals to explore research areas of mutual interest.


    DURIP funds must be used for the acquisition of major equipment or instrumentation to augment current, or develop new, research capabilities to support research in the technical areas of interest to the DoD. Your proposal may request funding for more than one item if the requested items comprise a system” that is used for a common research purpose. Requests for computing equipment for DoD-relevant research programs are appropriate and eligible for funding. Proposals for purely instructional equipment or general-purpose computing facilities are not eligible for DURIP funding.

     

    History of Funding

    Approximately $47 million was available in total funding for FY2022.

    Approximately $53 million was available in total funding for FY2024.

    Additional Information

    Evaluation and Selection Criteria: 

    • The impact of your proposed equipment or instrumentation on research DoD funds, or plans to fund, and / or the likelihood your proposed equipment or instrumentation will enhance current research capabilities or establish new research capabilities relevant to DoD areas of interest; 
    • The importance and priority to DoD missions of research your proposed equipment or instrumentation will support; 
    • The potential your proposed equipment or instrumentation offers to enhance your institution's ability to educate future scientists and engineers through research conducted with the proposed equipment in disciplines important to DoD missions. 

    Allowable DURIP Costs:

    • Acquisition of major equipment or instrumentation consistent with the evaluation criteria, including: reasonable costs for design, construction, assembly, and/or installation by external contractors or university technicians or engineers
    • Computers for DoD-relevant research programs consistent with the evaluation criteria
    • Travel costs for testing and/or acceptance of proposed instrumentation, and associated indirect (F&A) costs

    Unallowable DURIP Costs:

    • Construction or modification of buildings; building support systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, or electrical; or fixed equipment such as clean rooms or fume hoods
    • Costs for continued operation and maintenance, including extended warranties
    • Purely instructional equipment
    • General purpose computing facilities
    • Any materials or supplies costs not DIRECTLY related to the stand up/function of the major instrumentation item being purchased 
    • Direct salaries of faculty, postdoctoral associates, or students
    • Subawards for research expertise related to instrumentation implementation/testing
    • General research M&S
    • Cost that are not allowable under 2 CFR 200 Subpart E – Cost Principles

    Applicants may submit a single DURIP proposal to more than one administering agency; however only one administering agency will fund it, if selected. There is no limit on the total number of different proposals you can submit. There is no limit to the number of awards a single applicant organization can receive under this competition.
