The Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI), administered by the Department of Defense Office of Naval Research, supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. universities. The program specifically targets multidisciplinary research efforts where multiple traditional disciplines interact to achieve rapid advances in scientific areas of interest to the DoD.
MURI emphasizes collaborative, cross-disciplinary approaches that accelerate breakthroughs beyond what single-discipline investigations can achieve. Proposals are submitted through a two-stage process requiring initial white papers followed by full proposals. The program uses a standardized template for technical and cost submissions and enforces strict organizational conflict-of-interest policies to ensure fair evaluation.
MURI awards fund university research teams working on fundamental science problems with potential defense applications.
