About this opportunity
The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant. DURIP is designed to improve the research and educational capabilities of accredited U.S. institutions of higher education by providing funds for the acquisition of major research equipment or instrumentation. Eligible applicants are limited to public and private non-profit higher education institutions with science, mathematics, and/or engineering degree programs. Proposals will be evaluated based on three equally weighted criteria: the impact on DoD-funded research, the importance to DoD missions, and the potential to enhance the education of future scientists and engineers. Key dates include an April 11, 2025 deadline for inquiries and questions, and an April 25, 2025 deadline for full applications.
The total funding pool for this opportunity is estimated at approximately $34 million, pending appropriations. Individual awards will range from $50,000 to $3,000,000, with rare exceptions up to $7 million for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The acquired equipment must support DoD-relevant research and education, and cannot be used for building modifications, maintenance, purely instructional equipment, or general computing facilities.
