Proposals are sought to purchase instrumentation in support of research areas of interest as described in Section V of this announcement. Potential proposers may contact the appropriate program managers from each agency, identified within the announcements listed in Section V, to explore possible mutual interests before submitting proposals.
Cost sharing is encouraged.
No formula is prescribed, but universities are encouraged to provide partial funding and to seek funds from a variety of sources. Sufficient funds are not available to meet all of the instrumentation needs of the universities. Proposals for purely instructional equipment are not eligible. Lastly, set-up costs may be proposed, but costs for continued operation and maintenance are not eligible for consideration. Therefore proposals must address the impact of the equipment on the institution's ability to educate, through research, students in disciplines important to DOD missions.
