Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Navy and Marine Corps Science, Technology, Engineering
The ONR seeks proposals for developing existing or innovative solutions that directly support the development and maintenance of a robust STEM workforce.
The goal of any proposed effort should be to provide solutions that will establish and maintain a diverse pipeline of U. S. citizens who are interested in uniformed or civilian DoN (or Navy and Marine Corps) STEM related workforce opportunities.
While this announcement is relevant for any stage of the STEM pipeline, funding efforts will be targeted primarily towards the future DoN (naval) STEM workforce in High Schools, all categories of Post-Secondary institutions, the STEM research enterprise, and efforts that enhance the current naval STEM workforce and its mission readiness.
Efforts may encompass a spectrum of project sizes from exploratory pilots to large-scale regional or national initiatives.
The technical content of any idea must establish naval relevance within the broad scope of key engineering and scientific areas as outlined in the Naval S&T Strategic Plan, or such as our National Naval Responsibilities (see ONR website), or any identified gaps in workforce needs.
Specific audience priority areas may include, but not be limited to, military dependent children, education systems integral to the naval science and technology enterprise, and veteran initiatives that improve education outcomes and connections to naval STEM careers.
While not a formal requirement or program focus of this FOA, applicants are strongly encouraged to consider under-represented populations including women and minorities in project plans.
