On Sept. 24, the Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) will brief the results of two recent studies, Future Naval Use of COTS Networking Infrastructure and Immersive Simulation for Marine Corps Small Unit Training.

Work done through the Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) has been published in the May 2009 issue of the Society of Naval Architect and Marine Engineers’ Journal of Ship Production (JSP).

The Office of Naval Research is seeking applications from college and university professors for its 2014 Summer Faculty Research and Sabbatical Leave programs by noon on Dec. 6.

Representatives from the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Research Laboratory and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory will talk about research efforts and ongoing projects at the Sea Air Space Exposition in National Harbor, Md.

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.

Retired U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh, best known for his daring dive to the deepest spot on Earth, nearly 36,000 feet below the ocean’s surface, has died at age 92. Walsh was a co-pilot of the Trieste bathyscaphe, a deep submergence vehicle acquired by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in 1958. Two years later, on January 23, 1960, Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard, son of the inventor of the bathyscaphe, became the first humans to descend into the Challenger Deep, located in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench. “ONR sponsored the Trieste, but it was then-Lt. Don Walsh who made the very daring decision to make the first descent into the deepest spot of the earth’s ocean. Walsh was a Navy officer, a submariner, an adventurer, and an oceanographer. To his family, we extend our deepest condolences and gratitude for allowing him to explore, and share his extraordinary experiences and knowledge with us,” said Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Kurt Rothenhaus.

The following list includes currently active broad agency announcements (BAAs), notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) and commercial solution openings (CSOs) sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.

The aim of the Biotechnology for Naval Applications Program is to discover and develop biologically based and bioengineered solutions to expand current Warfighter capabilities in the domains of materials, manufacturing, electronics, sensors, and devices.
