Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI): The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research at U.S. 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 to address issues of critical concern to the DoD.The FY 2008 MURI competition is for the 19 topics listed below. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII entitled, "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 (6) should be submitted to ONR: (1) A 21st Century Approach to Electronic Device Reliability (2) Real-Time Methods for the Analysis of Networks(3) Biologically-Inspired Autonomous Sea Vehicles(4) Socio-Cultural Modeling for Understanding Asymmetric Threat Environments(5) Biometrics in the Maritime Domain(6) Biologically-Inspired Approaches for Team and Coalition Adaptation of Heterogeneous Unmanned Systems for Surveillance over Large and Complex AreasWhite papers and Full proposals addressing the following topics (7) through (13) should be submitted to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR):(7) Harnessing Complexity in the Human-Machine Systems(8) Assured Information Sharing(9) A 21st Century Approach to Electronic Device Reliability(10) Semiconductor Nanomembranes(11) Exploring the Interface: Mechanics of Nano-Scale Thermal Transport between Dissimilar Materials(12) Nanocatalysis for Propulsion Applications(13) Vortex-Particle Dynamics, Interaction and Control for Brownout MitigationWhite papers and full proposals addressing the following topics (14) through (19) should be submitted to the Army Research Office (ARO):(14) Human, Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling: Dynamic Models of the Effect of Culture on Collaboration and Negotiations(15) Brain Network Analysis and Modeling for Communication and Orientation(16) Reasoning by Abductive Inference(17) Spin-Mediated Magnetic Behavior in Hybrid Metal-Semiconductor Systems(18) Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Complex Multi-Scale Data Networks(19) Spray & Combustion of Gelled Hypergolic Propellants for Future Rocket and Missile EnginesProposals 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. Please see Amendment 0001.
