3. Office of Naval Research - History 1923 The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), is established in Washington, D.C. Today, NRL facilities are located in California, Maryland, Mississippi and Virginia. 1946 The Office of Naval Research is established to "...plan, foster and encourage scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance as related to the maintenance of future naval power, and the preservation of national security..." 3

4. Office of Naval Research - Mission To meet current and emerging warfighter needs and deliver future force capabilities ONR invests in 90 percent of its portfolio in mid- and long-term research while allowing for responsive, limited near-term technology insertions. S&T�s role is not to avoid risk, but to take scientifically feasible risk. ONR investigates new ideas to generate technology options and mitigate risk in acquisition. 4

5. ONR�s investments will ensure the continued technological superiority advantage of naval forces. Domination of the electro-magnetic spectrum and cyberspace Implemented directed energy weaponry � fighting at the speed-of-light Achieved persistent, distributed surveillance in all domains Comprehensive maritime domain awareness with large vessel stopping and weapons of mass destruction detection for EMIO Affordable platform design and construction Adaptive, wireless communications networks Decision tools for commanders that provide tactical advantage 5

6. Determination of threat intent through social and cultural understanding Lighter, faster, more lethal Marine forces �Accelerated team training and skill development Increased operational effectiveness through more efficient power and fuels Responsive and visible logistics to enable distributed forces Greater tactical advantage through superior knowledge and use of operational environments 6

7. ONR Organization A majority of the ONR Discovery and Invention program is executed through six departments: Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare & Combating Terrorism Department� Command, Control Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Ocean Battlespace Sensing� Sea Warfare and Weapons� Warfighter Performance Department Naval Air Warfare and Weapons 7

26. AFRL/AFRSO uses a variety of mechanisms to pursue international opportunities when: ROI is Significantly High Researcher Capabilities are Unique Researcher Facilities are Unique Quid-Pro-Quo Exchange Toward Common Goals Engineer and Scientist Exchange ProgramWindow on Asia (WOA) AFOSR Window on Science (WOS) 26

27. Engineer and Scientist Exchange Program ESEP promotes international cooperation in military research, development, and acquisition through the exchange of defense professionals. It provides on-site working assignments for US military and civilian engineers and scientists in allied and friendly governments' organizations and the reciprocal assignment of foreign engineers and scientists in US defense establishments. Purpose: Broaden perspectives in research and development techniques and methods  Form a cadre of internationally experienced professionals to enhance USAF research and development programs Gain insight into foreign research and development expertise, methods, organizational structures, procedures, production, logistics, testing, and management systems Cultivate future international cooperative endeavors Avoid duplication of research efforts  27

28. Window on Asia (WOA) WOA provides outstanding Air Force scientists and engineers the opportunity to work on specific research projects in leading (non-government) foreign laboratories, or to perform assessments of foreign technology efforts. The foreign host laboratory and its research personnel play a key role in the program. The host and its sponsoring researcher must be recognized leaders in the proposed area of research. Window programs provide no money for the purchase of supplies, equipment, or computer time; therefore, the host laboratory must support the resource requirements identified in the research proposal. The host laboratory confirms the research arrangements by issuing a letter of invitation to the researcher, or his organization. 28

29. AFOSR Window on Science (WOS) The Window on Science (WOS) program sponsors visits of non-government foreign scientists, engineers, and technologists to the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), other research organizations, defense contractors, and technical conferences. Although WOS visits are designed to be short-term in nature, visits to multiple sites are encouraged. WOS visitors may also combine visits to Air Force research and development organizations with visits to Army, Navy, other government, university, or industrial facilities. Visits may extend up to 30 days. AFOSR arranges for payment of an honorarium to offset part or all of the visitor's expenses. The WOS visitor usually delivers a seminar and engages in technical discussions with Air Force laboratory scientists. Upon return the visitor will submit a written report of the visit. 29

43. DOD AND GRANTS.GOV 43

44. DOD and Grants.gov The Department of Defense branches�Air Force, Army, and Navy�usually use the Grants.gov portal for proposal submission. The first page of the package looks rather familiar�pre-addressed package, name bar, mandatory documents and supplementary documents boxes But the DOD packages are different from almost all other packages. 44

45. DOD and Grants.gov This an example of a �volume� submission. The ONR wants 2 volumes submitted. This explains why the forms are not in the �mandatory� box. Volume I: Technical content, and biographical sketches, current/ pending proposals disclosure, references, and facilities. Volume II: cost proposal and documentation of the costs Both volumes are uploaded to the �attachments� file The SF 424 R&R is still required. 45

46. DOD and Grants.gov Here is the first page of an ONR solicitation. Note that the Funding Opportunity Number [FON] appears to be located in the upper left corner Is this data good? Yes and No� Punctuation seems to be challenging for the DOD. The real FON is ONRBAA11-001 If you were to search ONR BAA 11-001 BAA 11-001 ONR 11-001 it would appear that nothing exists in Grants.gov. 46

47. DOD and Grants.gov No matter how you obtain the Broad Agency Announcement [BAA], you will find valuable guidance for proposal submission. 47

48. DOD and Grants.gov The BAA also provides insight into how the proposal will be evaluated: Evaluation criteria Evaluation panel 48

49. Proposal Evaluation The overall scientific and/or technical merits of the proposal. The potential contributions of the effort to the Agency mission and the extent to which the research effort will contribute to balancing the overall Agency research program. The proposer�s capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques, or unique combinations of these, which are integral factors for achieving the proposed objectives. The qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed principal investigator, team leader, or other key personnel who are critical to achievement of the proposed objectives. The proposer�s record of past performance. The reasonableness and realism of proposed costs, any fee, and the availability of funds. 49
