Bilateral Academic Research Initiative (BARI)
Funds bilateral collaborations between United States universities and partner nations on defence topics.
BARI is a pilot program that funds bilateral research collaborations between US university teams and their counterparts at allied-nation institutions, with co-funding from the partner country's equivalent defense research body. The program targets basic research topics of joint strategic interest. Bilateral co-funding is a structural requirement — the partner country's research agency must provide matching or complementary support. As a pilot, eligible ally countries and active topic areas were not confirmed from the raw source. Specific country partnerships and co-funding amounts are not published on the landing page.
