The Office of Naval Research's Navy Undersea Research Program (NURP), in collaboration with the National Science Foundation, sponsors science and engineering graduate students pursuing thesis topics in core undersea weaponry technology areas.

Non-Destructive Evaluation and Prognostics is a two-tiered research area within the Office of Naval Research's Sea Warfare and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's Corrosion Science and Corrosion Control Technologies program has a primary focus to create a science-based understanding of corrosion through damage evolution mechanisms, develop corrosion-informed materials concepts, and evolve surface protection and modification sciences.

The Office of Naval Research Undersea Weapons Program develops technologies for current and next-generation, offensive and defensive weapons capable of engaging submarines, surface ships and threat torpedoes.

The Office of Naval Research's Metamaterials program supports basic research on optical and acoustic metamaterials to control light and sound propagation over a large frequency range.

The ONR 33 NEPTUNE Program is a two-year pilot program providing funding to five universities, the U.S. Naval Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School. Its goals are to help the Navy and Marine Corps discover ways to improve energy conservation, generate renewable energy and implement energy-efficient technologies—while giving active-duty military, military students and veterans the chance to immerse themselves in university-level research.

The Office of Naval Research's Functional Polymeric and Organic Materials program is focused on exploring the inherent strengths/properties of organic and polymeric materials to bring new capability to the Navy.

The Office of Naval Research's Acoustic Transduction Materials and Devices program supports basic and applied research on materials and device technologies for Navy applications that generate, detect and suppress undersea signal for navigation, threat detection, weapons guidance, communication and the like.

The Office of Naval Research's Extraordinary Materials for Extreme Conditions program aims to support basic and applied research efforts to design, discover and develop novel materials/structures with unique properties (Physical, Mechanical and Chemical etc.) for extreme operating conditions through employing traditional as well as novel - synthesis routes, processing, characterization techniques and modeling/simulation tools.

The Office of Naval Research's Propulsion Materials program involves, in part, the kinetics and thermodynamics of materials interactions and materials stability under marine operating environments and temperatures.
