FY 2008 Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) - For Proposal Submission to the Army: The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research at U.S. institutions of higher education 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 in the BAA. White 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 and Combustion of Gelled Hypergolic Propellants for Future Rocket and Missile Engines. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII entitled, "Specific MURI Topics", of the 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.
