The Office of Naval Research today announced awards of $16 million through its 2017 Young Investigator Program (YIP).

The following is a transcript from the Office of Naval Research's online Tech Talk series. Dr. Michael Kassner answered questions about the Navy's educational initiatives on Facebook on Oct. 20.

A high school team mentored by Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) recently won a world title at the FIRST Robotics Championship in Houston, Texas.

The DoN HBCU/MI Program recently hosted its Distinguished Fellows Symposium at the Office of Naval Research. The DoN HBCU/MI Distinguished Fellows Program provides HBCU/MI professors with faculty release time for three years, enabling them to focus exclusively on naval-relevant research.

Today, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) recognized awardees of the 2023 Young Investigator Program (YIP).

For achievements in fields ranging from robotic learning to photovoltaics, six researchers sponsored by the Office of Naval Research were honored with Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

The Office of Naval Research has announced Oct. 22-24, 2012 as the dates for its biennial conference.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored a project at Virginia Tech University nearly 20 years ago that is now growing in influence across the world for measuring aerospace and aeronautical acoustics. Since noise reverberates against solid surfaces, such as the walls of a wind tunnel where acoustical testing takes place, collecting accurate sound data had been nearly impossible at the time. Researchers were also struggling to discern the sound of the wind tunnel’s air flow from the noise of the object traveling through it. After learning about some experiments on Kevlar as a wind screen, William Devenport, an engineering professor and director of Virginia Tech’s Stability Wind Tunnel, said he and a colleague wrote a proposal to then-ONR program officer Ron Joslin to try adding Kevlar to their wind tunnel walls. Devenport submitted the original grant proposal (N00014–04–1–04933) through the FY 2004 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) for alterations to Virginia Tech’s existing Stability Wind Tunnel that would allow it to measure flow-induced noise of relevance to Navy applications.
