The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of accredited U.S. institutions of higher education to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to national defense, by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment or instrumentation that cannot typically be purchased within the budget of a single-investigator awards. Proposals may request funding for more than one item if the requested items comprise a “system” that is used for a common research purpose. Requests for computing equipment for DoD-relevant research programs are appropriate and eligible for funding. Proposals for purely instructional equipment or general-purpose computing facilities are not eligible for DURIP funding.

This Department of Defense program is administered by three agencies. Each agency posts its own Funding Opportunity Announcement:
