Opportunity Information: Apply for FOAAFRLAFOSR20240001
The Fiscal Year 2025 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity intended to strengthen research and education capacity at accredited U.S. colleges and universities. The program focuses specifically on supporting the purchase of major research equipment or specialized instrumentation that will expand or modernize a university's ability to perform cutting-edge work in scientific and engineering areas tied to national defense priorities. In practical terms, DURIP is about upgrading the tools that researchers and students rely on so institutions can conduct higher-quality experiments, pursue more advanced lines of inquiry, and better train the next generation of scientists and engineers for defense-relevant fields.
This opportunity is being administered through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) under funding opportunity number FOAAFRLAFOSR20240001. It is categorized as a discretionary grant in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development area, and it is listed under CFDA number 12.800. The funding is intended for instrumentation acquisition rather than general research project support, meaning proposals generally revolve around the need for a specific piece of equipment, how it will be used to enable or accelerate defense-relevant research, and how it will contribute to education and workforce development (for example, by supporting graduate and undergraduate training on advanced systems).
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education in the United States that are accredited, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. For-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible for DURIP funding under this announcement, so applicants must be non-profit higher education institutions. While the announcement does not specify the exact number of awards expected, it does state an award ceiling of $3,000,000, which indicates that requests can be substantial when the instrumentation need and defense relevance justify the cost.
Key dates included in the listing show the opportunity was created on November 9, 2023, and the original closing date for submissions is February 16, 2024. Applicants considering this program should treat it as a competitive equipment grant: the core of a strong application is typically a clear justification for why the instrument is needed, how it will be shared or accessed (when applicable), what research and educational outcomes it will enable, and why those outcomes matter to Department of Defense interests.Apply for FOAAFRLAFOSR20240001
