Project Grant N000142112363

Duke University was awarded a two-year, $285,000 Project Grant from the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). The grant will support research into thermodynamics of polar materials beyond current computational methods from April 2021 through April 2023. The Basic and Applied Scientific Research program aims to stimulate basic and applied research with potential to improve naval operations and train future scientists. This award will allow Duke University researchers to advance scientific understanding of polar materials critical to naval technologies through expanded computational modeling approaches.
