Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Department of War (DoW) Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP)
Funds research equipment and instrumentation for university labs working on Navy and defense-relevant science.
University labs doing defense-relevant science often run on equipment that's aging or missing outright, and that caps what they can discover or teach. This program buys the equipment directly.
Money goes toward research equipment and instrumentation — not the research itself, the tools for it — in areas the Department of War already prioritizes, spanning the interests of the Army Research Office,…
Purchase of research equipment and instrumentation at accredited U.S. institutions of higher education with degree programs in science, mathematics or engineering, in areas of interest to the Department of War's basic research priorities across the Army, Navy and Air Force research offices. For-profit educational institutions and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers are excluded; University Affiliated Research Centers may participate.
