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.

DoD Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) is sponsored by Department of Defense (DoD) - Office of Naval Research (ONR). 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.
FY25 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education and Workforce Program is sponsored by Office of Naval Research (ONR). This program supports a wide range of STEM education efforts designed to strengthen the current and future science and engineering workforce, including formal and informal education settings.
The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Vinnova, Sweden's national innovation agency, funds projects developing applied AI solutions for Swedish industry through its Advanced Digitalization Programme.
