The Department of Defense announced Dec. 12 awards totaling $161M to 281 university researchers under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). The grants will support the purchase of major equipment to augment current and develop new research capabilities relevant to DoD at 120 institutions across 39 states for FY 2024.
DURIP is a strategic investment through which the DoD champions the country's scientific ecosystem and equips universities to perform state-of-the-art research that boosts the United States' STEM technological edge.
This year's awards will accelerate basic research in areas the National Defense Science and Technology Strategy prioritizes, including quantum computing and quantum networks, bioelectronics, hypersonics, autonomy, and the design, development, and characterization of novel materials.
Awards made by the military service research offices are subject to successful completion of negotiations with the academic institutions. The list of winning proposals can be downloaded here.
Regional recipients of the awards, and their research projects, included:
Vanderbilt University (Tenn.) Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO), Transmission, and Electrical Test Upgrades for Nanoscale Far‐IR Characterization.
University of Alabama Compressive Residual Stresses for Mitigation of Surface‐initiated Failures in DoD tools.
Mississippi State University O‐RAN Security and Spectrum Access Research Testbed.
Auburn University (Ala.) Instrumentation for Forward Flight Version of Rotating 3D Velocimetry. (DoD 12/12/23)
