The Air Force is offering the FY 2009 Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant for basic science and engineering research at U.S. universities critical to national defense. This grant supports multidisciplinary research intersecting various disciplines to address DoD concerns. Topics include materials design, plasma energy, superconductors, nanophotonics, and software protection. Proposals should be submitted to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) by Jan 09, 2009. Collaborative university teams are encouraged to apply, with clear roles for each institution. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU/MIs) are also encouraged to participate. Single Principal Investigator and lead institution required.

| Description: | The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research at U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as “universities”) that is of critical importance to national defense. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts that intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline to address issues of critical concern to the DoD. ………. The FY 2009 MURI competition is for the 32 topics listed in the Announcement. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII entitled, Specific MURI Topics, of this BAA. The detailed descriptions are intended to provide the proposer a frame of reference and are not meant to be restrictive to the possible approaches to achieving the goals of the topic and the program. Innovative ideas addressing these research topics are highly encouraged. ………. White papers and Full proposals addressing the following topics (10) through (21) should be submitted to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR): ………. (10) Neurological System-Inspired Multifunctional Materials Design for Autonomous State Awareness against Exogenous Threats (11) Chemical Energy Enhancement by Nonequilibrium Plasma Species (12) Ultracold Molecules (13) Search for New Superconductors for Energy and Power Applications (14) Complex Nonperiodic Nanophotonics (15) Multi-Scale Fusion of Information for Uncertainty Quantification and Management in Large-Scale Simulations (16) Learning Decision Architectures for Intelligent Cooperative Control of Autonomous Systems (17) Information Dynamics In Networks (18) Synthesis, Analysis, and Prognosis of Hybrid-Material Flight Structures (19) Biophotonics: Optical Effects through Natures Photonic Control (20) Fundamental Graphene Material Studies and Device Concepts (21) Application Software and Data Protection for Untrusted Platforms ………. Proposals from a team of university investigators may be warranted because the necessary expertise in addressing the multiple facets of the topics may reside in different universities, or in different departments in the same university. By supporting multidisciplinary teams, the program is complementary to other DoD basic research programs that support university research through single-investigator awards. Proposals must name one Principal Investigator as the responsible technical point of contact. Similarly, one institution will be the primary awardee for the purpose of award execution. The relationship among participating institutions and their respective roles, as well as the apportionment of funds including sub-awards, if any, must be described in both the proposal text and the budget. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MIs) (as defined by 10 U.S.C. 2323a (1) (c)) are encouraged to participate in the MURI program, either as the lead institution or as a member of a team. However, no specific funds are allocated for HBCU/MI participation. |
