Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (YIP)
OSP Deadline: October 28, 2016
Sponsor Deadline: November 4, 2016
Award Amount: Up to $170,000 per year for 3 years. Additional funds for capital equipment may be requested for the first budget period based on the needs of the research. As an incentive for becoming involved with other Department of the Navy research activities, the Office of the Director of Research of ONR may match on a 1-for-1 basis, the first $25,000 of additional Department of the Navy funding which a successful applicant obtains each year to support additional, collaborative research with a Navy laboratory during the YIP award.

The Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (YIP) seeks to identify and support academic scientists and engineers who are in their first or second full-time tenure-track or tenure-track-equivalent academic appointment, have begun their first appointment on or after November 4, 2011, and who show exceptional promise for doing creative research. The objectives of this program are to attract outstanding faculty members to the Department of the Navy's research program, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers.  Proposals addressing research areas described in the ONR science and technology (S&T) department section of ONR's website, which are of interest to ONR program officers and division directors will be considered.
