FY21 Young Investigator Program
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for its Young Investigator Program (YIP).
ONR's Young Investigator Program seeks to identify and support academic scientists and engineers who are in their first or second full-time tenure-track or tenure-track-equivalent academic appointment, who have received their PhD or equivalent degree on or after 01 January 2013, and who show exceptional promise for doing creative research.
The objectives of this program are to attract outstanding faculty members of Institutions of Higher Education (hereafter also called "universities") to the Department of the Navy's Science and Technology (S&T) research program, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers.
Individuals who are holding U. S. non-profit equivalent positions are also encouraged to apply.Proposals addressing research areas (as described in the ONR Science and Technology Department section of ONR's website at www.onr.navy.mil) which are of interest to ONR program officers will be considered.
Contact information for each division (a subgroup of an S&T Department) is also listed within the S&T section of the website.Applicants are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to contact the appropriate Program Officer who is the point of contact for a specific technical area to discuss their research ideas.
A list of most Program Officers and their contact information can be found at:
https://www.onr.navy.mil/our-research/technology-areas or at:https://www.onr.navy.mil/our-research/our-program-managers.Brief informal pre-proposals may be submitted to facilitate these discussions but are not required.

Please allow adequate time for such discussions with the ONR Program Officer.
The brief informal pre-proposal should be emailed to the ONR Program Officer with ONRYIP@navy.mil on the cc:
