United States Department of Defense | EPSCoR/IDeA Foundation You are using an outdated browser. Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience. As part of the FY19 Defense Appropriations bill, Congress tasked the Basic Research Office to re-establish the Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR).
DEPSCoR is a capacity building program that is designed to strengthen the research infrastructure at institutions of higher education in underutilized States/Territories.
In order to achieve its congressional mandate, the Basic Research Office developed three major thrusts for DEPSCoR – 1) augment funding to existing programs in the Tri-Services, 2) solicit applications for a stand-alone collaborative competition, and 3) outreach meetings.
The authorization legislation for DEPSCoR included a formula to determine whether a state/territory, is eligible based on how much DoD S&E Research and Development funds were obligated to IHE within the state/territory over a three-year average. Thus, thirty-four states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are eligible to participate in DEPSCoR.
*DEPSCoR operated form 1996-2010 and was reconstituted in 2019

Here is what is actually established, what is still speculation, and what researchers holding or planning NIAID biodefense awards should do before September 30.

Round one closed July 8. The arithmetic across both windows accounts for nearly the entire FY26 appropriation — which tells you what kind of second chance this is.
Read articleThe Department's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 3 opened June 24 with roughly 37 topics across DARPA, the Navy, the Air Force, and the defense components, all closing July 22. The compressed four-week window is unforgiving, but the bigger mistake founders make is treating every component the same. Here is how to read the release, the eligibility rules that disqualify good companies, and why the component you target matters more than the topic you pick.
