Fiscal Year 2009 Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR)
The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the fiscal year 2009 Department of Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR).
The program is executed under the policy guidance of the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Laboratories and Basic Sciences [ODUSD (LABS)] and administered through the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).
ARO, ONR, and AFOSR will award research grants based on this announcement.
The program statute for DEPSCoR (section 257 of Public Law 103-337, as amended) states that DEPSCoR's objectives are to:
