Today, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) recognized awardees of the 2022 Young Investigator Program (YIP).

The Office of Naval Research recognized 26 awardees of the 2020 Young Investigator Program. These recipients will share $14 million in funding to conduct challenging scientific research that will benefit the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

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.

ONR and the Department of the Navy honor Dr. Don Walsh, who co-piloted the historic 1960 deep-sea voyage of the Trieste, in a ceremony on April 15 at the U.S. Navy Museum at the Washington Navy Yard.

Office of Naval Research program officer Harold Hawkins received the 2003 Dr. Arthur E. Bisson Prize for Naval Technology Achievement from Chief of Naval Research Rear Admiral Jay Cohen at a ceremony in Arlington, Va, on June 22, 2004

ONR recently tested the new Mine Warfare Rapid Assessment Capability (MIW RAC), an unmanned aerial drone that detects mines and provides real-time search data to a handheld device.

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.

The Office of Naval Research today announced the award of 26 grants totaling $8.4 million as a result of the Fiscal Year 2002 ONR Young Investigator Program competition. A total of 260 proposals were submitted in response to this year's program announcement. The Young Investigator Program supports...

The Office of Naval Research is helping students with computer-based applications similar to programs originally designed for Navy recruits.
