Grant Description: The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program supports basic science and/or engineering research at institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as ?universities?) that is of critical importance to national defense. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts that intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline.The Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 MURI competition is specifically for the twenty-six (26) topics listed below. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII., SPECIFIC MURI TOPICS, of this BAA. The detailed descriptions are intended to provide the proposer a frame of reference and are not meant to be restrictive to the possible approaches to achieving the goals of the topic and the program. Innovative ideas addressing these research topics are highly encouraged.White papers and full proposals addressing the following topics (1) through (8) should be mailed to the Army Research Office (ARO):(1) Cross-Disciplinary Approach to the Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Wireless Communications Networks(2) Control of Networked Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Vehicle Swarms Inspired by Nature(3) Standoff Inverse Analysis and Manipulation of Electronic Systems (SIAMES)(4) Training for the Networked Battlefield (5) Quantum Imaging(6) Advanced Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy to Single Nuclear Spin Detection(7) Material Engineering of Lattice-Mismatched Semiconductor Systems(8) Enabling Science for Future Force Insensitive MunitionsWhite papers and full proposals addressing the following topics (9) through (18) should be mailed to the Office of Naval Research (ONR):(9) Detection and Sensing Below the Shot Noise Limit(10) Novel Dielectric Materials for High Pulsed Power Capacitors(11) Multi-Energy Processing Science(12) Realtime Sensing, Prediction, and Response to Evolving Nonlinear Wavefields(13) Materials Manufacturing Processes, Interface Control, and Reliability of Nanostructure-Enhanced Devices for Energy Conversion and Realization of High Performance Systems (14) GaN Based mm-Wave Sources(15) Exploitation of the Coherent Structures in River and Estuarine Flows for DoD Operations in Denied Areas(16) Magnetic Detection Science and Technology(17) Revolutionary Approaches to Hypersonic Materials(18) Radically New Approaches for Robust Speech-to-TextWhite papers and full proposals addressing the following topics (19) through (26) should be mailed to the sent to Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR):(19) Radiation Effects on Emerging Electronic Materials and Devices(20) Extreme Light Material-Based Diagnostics(21) Computational Modeling of Adversary Attitudes and Behaviors(22) Water-Based Photobiological Production of Hydrogen Fuel(23) Waveform Diversity for Full Spectral Dominance(24) Closed-Loop Aerodynamic Flow Control(25) Multistage Electromagnetic (EM) and Laser Launchers for Affordable, Rapid Access to Space(26) Biomimetic Multifunctional Composites for ?Autonomic? Aerospace StructuresProposals from a team of university investigators may be warranted because the necessary expertise in addressing the multiple facets of the topics may reside in different universities, or in different departments in the same university. By supporting multidisciplinary teams, the program is complementary to other DoD basic research programs that support university research through single-investigator awards. Proposals must name one Principal Investigator as the responsible technical point of contact. Similarly, one institution will be the primary awardee for the purpose of award execution. The relationship among participating institutions and their respective roles, as well as the apportionment of funds including sub-awards, if any, must be described in both the proposal text and the budget.Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MIs) (as defined by 10 U.S.C. 2323a (1) (c)) are encouraged to participate in the MURI program, either as the lead institution or as a member of a team. However, no specific funds are allocated for HBCU/MI participation.
