Special Program Announcement for Office of Naval Research (ONR) Research Opportunity: Space Industry Day

Recognizing the modern need for bold answers to complex naval challenges, ONR has sponsored the creation of Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation (GKC)—a new academic center dedicated to helping the U.S. government re-envision its approach to national security issues.

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.

To increase the capabilities and potential of new recruits, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has invested in a cutting-edge software program that improves the reading comprehension of its Sailors two grade levels after only 40 hours of study.

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) has announced 15 aspiring researchers as award recipients of the U.S. Navy’s 2009 Young Investigator Program (YIP).

To enhance the decision-making capabilities of Marines, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines recently held a weeklong exercise called Spartan Emerging Technology and Innovation Week at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Ground-breaking research that led to the miniaturization of computer hard disc drives and world-wide usage of laptop computers recently earned an Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored scientist the prestigious Oliver E. Buckley prize.

ONR is sponsoring the development of BLAST, a portable, three-part system that can measure blast pressure, establish injury thresholds for the brain and analyze potential TBI symptoms.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global is on a mission to strengthen U.S. naval capabilities by bridging the gap between scientists and warfighters who serve at sea. One of the ways the command does so is through the Scientist-to-Sea (S2S) program, which invites U.S. government and industry-partner scientists and engineers to experience Navy installations and ships in-person whenever possible.
