2021 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global Research Opportunity: Global-X Challenge
The purpose of this Global-X Challenge is to discover, disrupt, and ultimately provide a catalyst through basic and applied research for later development and delivery of revolutionary capabilities to the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, the commercial marketplace, and the public.
The expected outcomes of this Global-X Challenge are promising, potentially game-changing concepts whose technology maturity may be accelerated under separate agile follow-on technology development efforts.
Joining ONR Global as members of the Global-X Challenge evaluation panel are experts from signatory nations of the International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR).
All Global-X Challenge evaluation panel members will be covered under a non-disclosure agreement and will certify no Personal or Organizational Conflicts of Interest exist.
All ONR Global and other U. S. Federal employees are subject to Federal laws requiring the protection of trade secrets and proprietary information.
ONR Global is interested in promising concepts to achieve revolutionary capability advances with both military and commercial value in the multidisciplinary technology challenge areas described below.
Specifically excluded are approaches that primarily result in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice, or are already funded by existing research programs.
ONR Global recognizes that international scientists and engineers conduct creative and novel research.
This Global-X Challenge provides an opportunity for these international researchers to collaborate, generate revolutionary ideas and demonstrate these ideas will succeed.
ONR Global invites outstanding international researchers to form multi-national, multidisciplinary teams to address one or more of these capability challenges.
Individual researchers may participate on more than one team.
Teams are responsible for establishing non-disclosure agreements among team members, if necessary.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
See Broad Agency Announcement N00014-21-S-B001 for full eligibility guidelines.
Researchers from academia and industry may participate.
ONR Global expects, but does not require, that multi-national teams will consist of at least two research entities outside of the U.S., whether from academia, industry and/or the broad research community.
Researchers from U. S. research entities may also participate, but are not required.
As stated above, this Global-X Challenge is an opportunity specifically directed toward international researchers; therefore, ONR Global expects the majority of team members will be outside of the U. S. Each team shall designate a lead Principal Investigator (PI) whose research organization outside of the U. S. will submit the white paper or proposal, and will distribute funding to co-PIs and other sub-recipients.
For a given project team, one award is made to the PI’s institution.
Only the PI’s institution will be the prime awardee, and that institution is responsible for all aspects of the grant, including conditions on the use of funds and other terms and conditions of the grant.
Research organizations and individuals that are not subject to U. S. sanctions, or are not otherwise excluded from doing business with the U. S. Government, may participate.
Please note the grant applicant is responsible for complying with any applicable sanctions, export controls, and similar limitations.
