NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO) FY25 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) Education and Workforce Program

The Department of the Navy sponsors an HBCU/MI program to encourage and support minority researchers and graduates.

On April 5, 2010, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) named 17 recipients as winners of its 2010 Young Investigator Program, which invests in academic scientists and engineers who show exceptional promise for creative study.

The Naval Horizons student essay contest—an educational video series from the Department of the Navy's Naval STEM education and outreach program—aims to inspire high school students by raising their awareness of the real-world science and technology challenges facing the Navy and Marine Corps today. The high school contest expands on the Naval Horizons contest launched last year, which focused on college students.

NEPTUNE 2.0 will launch in early 2020—providing new research grants to universities to align naval and national defense strategy requirements with campus laboratory capabilities. NEPTUNE sponsors university research, which enables military students (veterans and active duty) to connect education with entrepreneurial practice—developing technology for defense and commercial applications.

A dynamic era in naval oceanography recently ended as the iconic Floating Instrument Platform — popularly known as FLIP — was officially retired from service. Built in 1962 with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), FLIP helped generations of scientists and oceanographers better understand the mysteries of the sea, including internal waves, air-sea interaction and long-range sound propagation. Sadly, age and exorbitant life-extension costs resulted in the platform being disestablished. On Aug. 3, a solemn gathering of well-wishers watched as FLIP was towed, at sunset, to a dismantling and recycling facility. Last month, a formal good-bye ceremony was hosted by the Marine Physical Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Though retired, FLIP will live on at Scripps. One of its booms (crane-like arms for suspending instruments) will be installed on the Scripps research pier in La Jolla and used to deploy instruments. Also, artifacts from the platform will be displayed in a permanent exhibit at Scripps’ Birch Aquarium.
