The Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the American Association for the Advancement in Science jointly sponsor an on-line searchable database for funding in the biological and medical sciences. This Presidential Award is the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers. Multidisciplinary team effort can accelerate research progress in areas particularly suited to this approach. Multidisciplinary research also can help to hasten the transition of research findings to practical application. MURI awards are made in research topics specified by the participating defense agencies each year that the program is in force.
Specified topics change each year.
It is further anticipated that the BMDO will receive an amount of funds equal to approximately one fourth of that available to the Army, Navy, or Air Force.
