Opportunity Information: Apply for PA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001
The Fiscal Year 2018 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is a U.S. Department of Defense grant opportunity intended to strengthen research and education capacity at accredited U.S. colleges and universities by funding the purchase of major research equipment and instrumentation. The central purpose is to improve universities ability to conduct high-quality science and engineering research in areas that matter to national defense, while also helping train the next generation of scientists and engineers by giving them access to modern, mission-relevant tools. DURIP is positioned as part of the broader University Research Initiative (URI), which focuses on sustaining and expanding the defense-related research ecosystem within academia.
This opportunity is administered under the Department of Defense, specifically through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). It is listed as a discretionary grant in the science and technology and other research and development category, with CFDA number 12.800. The funding is aimed at instrumentation acquisition rather than general research project support, meaning proposals are expected to justify the need for specific equipment, explain how it will enhance ongoing or planned defense-relevant research, and describe how it will be shared, maintained, and integrated into training and educational activities where appropriate.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled universities and private universities, with additional eligibility details referenced in the announcement text. A key restriction is that for-profit organizations are not eligible to receive DURIP funds. In practical terms, the program is designed for university-based research teams and departments seeking to modernize or expand specialized laboratory capabilities, often for equipment that is too costly to obtain through smaller research awards.
Key administrative details for this funding opportunity include the opportunity number PA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001 and a creation date of March 1, 2017. The original closing date for submissions is July 7, 2017, and the program also specifies that pre-proposal inquiries and questions must be submitted no later than Friday, June 16, 2017, signaling that applicants were expected to resolve eligibility and scope questions well before the deadline. The announced award ceiling is $1,500,000 per award, and the agency anticipated making approximately 100 awards, suggesting a competitive but comparatively broad funding distribution across many institutions and equipment needs.
Overall, DURIP is best understood as a capacity-building instrumentation program: it invests in tangible research infrastructure at U.S. universities to expand defense-relevant research capabilities, strengthen lab environments, and support workforce development through improved access to advanced research tools.Apply for PA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001
