The Office of Naval Research's Mathematical and Resource Optimization program supports basic research in optimization — focusing on the development of theory and algorithms for large-scale optimization problems.

The Office of Naval Research's Unmanned Surface Vehicle and Small Combatant Craft program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced sea platform performance, advanced sea platform and autonomy technologies.

The Office of Naval Research's Materials & Processes for Additive Manufacturing (AM) program is focused on exploring new and novel approaches in developing and understanding AM materials and manufacturing processes for naval applications.

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 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 aim of Bio-Inspired Autonomous Systems is to extract principles of sensorimotor control, biomechanics and fluid dynamics of underwater propulsion and control in aquatic and amphibious animals that underlie the agility, stealth, efficiency and sensory adaptations of these animals.

The Cognitive Science for Human Machine Teaming program seeks to develop empirically grounded models of human cognition and computational architectures that attain human-level intelligence.

The Command Decision Making program is advancing cognitive theory and computational modeling to create decision support tools for warfighters that are mission and task sensitive, and therefore proactive in providing relevant information at appropriate times.

The Office of Naval Research's Electrochemical Materials program is focused on developing a fundamental understanding of charge (electron and ion) storage, transport and transfer mechanisms, and applying that knowledge to inform the development of materials, materials architectures and devices that address Navy and Marine Corps application power and energy needs.
