ONR Global recognizes that international scientists and engineers conduct creative and novel research. This Global-X Challenge provides an opportunity for these international researchers to collaborate, generate revolutionary ideas and show proof of concept these ideas will succeed. ONR Global invites outstanding international researchers to form multi-national, multidisciplinary teams to address one or more of the capability challenges:
- Subsea Object Detection and Identification (Underwater and Seabed)
- Personal Expeditionary Power and Energy
- High Latitude High Bandwidth Communications
Funding: $750,000 (+$250K add-on possible)
Duration: 9m (+9m add-on possible)
Eligibility: Non-federal entity researchers from academia and industry may participate. ONR Global expects, but does not require, that multi-national teams will consist of at least two research entities outside of the U.S., whether from academia, industry and/or the broader research community. Researchers from U.S. research entities may also participate, but are not required. Note that according to internal EPFL rules, only proposals that qualify as fundamental research should be submitted.
How to apply: The two-stage application procedure begins with the submission of a white-paper via email. White papers should be formatted according to the template available in the FOA and should not exceed 5 pages. Successful applicants will be invited to either participate in an in-person teaming workshop, or to directly submit a full proposal. Full proposals should be submitted on grants.gov and must contain a detailed budget; for these steps, get in touch with the Research Office.
