Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Young Investigator Program (YIP)

The goal of the surface ship hydrodynamics and dynamics research area is to develop increased understanding and predictive simulation capabilities of nonlinear interaction of surface ship and ocean environment, free surface turbulence, surface ship dynamics, and hydrodynamic loads in relevant operation environment.

The Office of Naval Research's Structural Metals program emphasizes developing the fundamental understanding needed to discover, design, and produce high-performance structural metals.

The Office of Naval Research's Computer-Aided Materials Design (CAMD) program funds research projects in materials design.

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.

The Office of Naval Research's Power Generation and Energy Storage program is focused on developing Navy power generation and energy storage systems and components to improve overall naval platform capability, efficiency and reliability.

The Navy faces the complex task of efficiently managing diverse material streams, either generated as operational byproducts or at the end of their service life. The Office of Naval Research's Materials Treatment and Recovery program ensures their appropriate treatment and, where economically feasible, resource recovery.

Extraordinarily rugged with a melting temperature of several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. That describes the results of research into new ceramic materials sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and recently published in the Journal Nature. A research team, led by ONR’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Stefano Curtarolo, Duke University, developed a computational method for creating new types of ceramics using transition metals – carbonitrides or borides – through a process called Disordered Enthalpy-Entropy Descriptor (DEED). The applications are endless, said Dr. Eric Wuchina, a research materials engineer who was the program officer with ONR’s Sea Warfare and Weapons department when Curtarolo’s research team was awarded the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). According to Wuchina, the variety of new compositions could create potentially millions of new materials.
