A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA 95-5) FOR THE 1996 DEFENSE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTRUMENTATION PROGRAM (DURIP) FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) DUE 010596 POC Major David C. Hart, AFOSR/NI, 110 Duncan Avenue, Suite B115, Bolling AFB DC 20332-0001, phone (202) 767-8068 DUE 5 January 1996, POC Maj David C. Hart, AFOSR/NI, 110 Duncan Avenue, Suite B115, Bolling AFB DC 20332-0001, phone (202) 767-8068. The Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) announces the availability of a BAA for the 1996 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) for DoD. DURIP is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to national defense by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment in specific research areas. The areas of interest are (1) High Resolution Plasma Diagnostics for High Power Microwave Studies, (2) Vacuum Diagnostic Facility for Electric Propulsion, High Altitude Plumes and Contamination Studies, (3) Equipment for Synthesis, Characterization, and Processing of Nano-Size Particles, (4) Instrumentation for Spatially and Temporally Resolved Studies of Surfaces and Thin Films, (5) Molecular Level Characterization of Materials and Processes, (6) Instrumentation for Structural Integrity and Reliability, (7) Characterization of the Physical, Chemical, and Mechanical Properties of Snow, Ice, and Frozen Ground, (8) Innovative Spatial, Temporal and Spectral Probes, (9) Advanced Instrumentation for Materials Characterization and Processing, (10) Environments for Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems, (11) High Resolution Characterization of Proteins, Protein Complexes, and Subcellular Structures, (12) Broadband Information Technology (BIT), (13) Ultra Silicon Infrastructure, (14) Laser and Nonlinear Optical Materials Characterization, (15) Computers for Advanced Device and Circuit Design and Simulations, (16) Computational Neuroscience: Multineuron Recording for the Study of Neural Networks, (17) Synthesis, Processing, and Characterization Equipment for Functional Materials Development via Chemical Methods, (18) Physical Processes and Phenomena Instrumentation, (19) Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sensors, (20) Time of Flight Instrumentation, (21) Instrumentation for Design, Testing, and Application of Silicon Neural Systems, (22) Biomaterials and Processes from Marine Organisms, (23) Instrumentation for Missile Defense Research in Sensing, Processing, Communications, Power, and Propulsion. Before sending a proposal, inquire if someone at the appropriate program office is interested in your field of work. That person can also provide guidance for preparing a proposal before you begin to develop the proposal. Names and telephone numbers of the agencies program managers are listed after each topic area description. Instructions for proposal submissions, and copies of the DURIP BAA can be obtained from AFOSR/XPT, 110 Duncan Avenue, Suite B115, Bolling AFB DC 20332-0001, phone (202) 767-4910.
