The Office of Naval Research Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA N00014-25-S-B001) is ONR's primary solicitation for basic and applied research proposals, accepting submissions on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026. ONR's AI priorities center on autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, and machine learning for sensor fusion.
Individual awards typically range from $100,000 for exploratory research to $2 million for larger applied programs. The BAA covers all ONR science and technology departments, with AI-related research falling under key areas including ocean battlespace sensing, command-decision-superiority, and warfighter performance.
This is the broadest entry point for academic researchers and companies seeking ONR funding for AI and autonomous systems research, complementing the more targeted Young Investigator Program and MURI solicitations.

Current published award information indicates Funding amounts vary based on project scope and sponsor guidance. Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is September 30, 2026. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research at U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as "universities") that is of critical importance to national defense. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts that intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline to address issues of critical concern to the DoD. The FY 2009 MURI competition is for the 32 topics listed below. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII entitled, Specific MURI Topics, of this BAA. The detailed descriptions are intended to provide the proposer a frame of reference and are not meant to be restrictive to the possible approaches to achieving the goals of the topic and the program. Innovative ideas addressing these research topics are highly encouraged. Please see the attached full announcement. Funding Opportunity Number: ONRBAA08-019. Assistance Listing: 12.300.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for efforts that aim to develop and demonstrate science and technology for the next generation (2010 - 2013) electronics devices under the following focus area: Wideband, Low Noise, Interference-Tolerant Receiver Component and Chain Development for Dense Signal Environments Funding Opportunity Number: ONRBAA09-020. Assistance Listing: 12.300. Funding Instrument: G,PC. Category: ST.
The primary purpose of the Data-to-Decision (D2D) Program is to develop a capability to rapidly develop, evaluate, and field prototype Decision Support Systems. To accomplish this goal, the D2D program has identified the creation of a library of flexible modules that can be easily repurposed, or modified, to meet the needs of many National Security applications as a critical need. This library will form an open architecture basis for the rapid development of new prototype decision support systems. Additionally, the architecture should allow these modules to be rapidly reconfigured, should be sufficiently flexible to enable easy upgrades of existing modules and should allow insertion of new or alternative modules created by innovative organizations. To help focus on the development of these broadly applicable modules, the program will be conducted using a series of cross-service challenge problems centered on specific sensing modalities. Data will be provided at the unclassified level, to ensure all innovative ideas can be captured, and at the operational level to make sure the solutions work with real data development that will generally occur through open consortiums delivering specific capabilities in contrast to a program in which the offeror has unique measures of success and operates independently. The system will be built on an open-architecture testbed running a Service Oriented Architecture with distributed nodes. The testbed will be built, owned and operated by a government team and will be used to perform research and module development in advanced user interfaces, analytics and data management. The testbed itself will consist of 100+ high performance nodes on a 10 GB Ethernet backbone. Between 0.5-1.0 petabyte of storage will be provided, and there will be a mix of different memory types to support research in storage architectures and efficient data access and retrieval. The system will be fully partitionable and reconfigurable to support research in grid vs. cloud architectures, algorithm scalability, data indexing, common data representation and other modules as identified or needed. Details regarding the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and hardware will be supplied to offerors that have been selected for an awardONR, on behalf of DDR&E, plans to fund eight (8) to ten (10) individual awards with a value of $300,000 to $750,000 per year. However, lower and higher cost proposals will be considered. The Research and Development (R&D) efforts to be funded consist of Applied Research. The funds available to support awards are budget Activity 6.2. The period of performance for projects may be from one (1) to four (4) years. Although ONR expects the above described program plan to be executed, ONR reserve the right to make changes. Funding decisions should be made on or about 29 April 2011. Projects will have an estimated contract award or grant date of 01 August 2011. ***********************************************Applicants shall NOT apply under this Special Notice.
