Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2023 0007
The FY23 Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) Capacity Building (CB) opportunity is a Department of Defense basic research grant program designed to strengthen research capacity at institutions of higher education in DEPSCoR-eligible states and territories. It is sponsored and managed by the DoD Basic Research Office within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, with awards issued by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and administrative support handled through the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The overall intent is to use FY23 DEPSCoR appropriations to help universities in eligible jurisdictions become more competitive and more capable of carrying out science and engineering research that aligns with DoD mission needs.
The program lays out three main objectives. First, it aims to grow the pool of university researchers in eligible states and territories who can conduct science and engineering research that is responsive to DoD priorities. Second, it focuses on building institutional capability by improving how eligible institutions develop, plan, and execute mission-relevant research programs that can succeed in rigorous peer review environments typical of federal research funding. Third, it seeks to improve long-term outcomes by increasing the likelihood that these institutions will sustain growth in competitively awarded federal financial assistance for science and engineering research over time, beyond the life of the DEPSCoR award itself.
From a funding perspective, the DoD anticipates up to $6 million total available under this announcement, with plans to make between one and four awards. Individual awards can be as large as $1.5 million in total costs over a two-year period, with funding structured at up to $750,000 per year for two years. The opportunity is discretionary and uses a grant instrument, categorized under science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 12.431). While the ceiling and expected number of awards are stated, selections ultimately depend on funding availability and proposal quality, and the DoD explicitly notes it may choose to fund all, some, part, or none of the submitted proposals, with no guarantee that any award will be made.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is identified as FOA AFRL AFOSR 2023 0007 and was created on March 7, 2023, with an original closing date of November 20, 2023. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that the detailed eligibility requirements and the specific list of DEPSCoR-eligible states and territories are provided in the full announcement text under the eligibility section. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building investment: it is meant to help eligible universities build durable research strength, infrastructure, and competitiveness in areas that matter to the DoD, positioning them to win more peer-reviewed federal research funding in the future.Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2023 0007
