Office of Naval Research (ONR)

Some suggestions of where to locate funding include:

• ONR Funding Opportunities
• Education/University Research Initiative Programs

• ONR encourages telephone inquiries to the technical point-of-contact who most closely matches the proposed research's discipline before a formal proposal is submitted.
• Short, informal proposals or letters of intent may also be submitted.

• The ONR Program Office will review the proposal. The Program Officer will contact the Principal Investigator to discuss the proposal, if necessary.
• A final decision is made by the Program Office. In some cases, notification is sent to the Principal Investigator with a copy to the Sponsored Projects Office (SPO).
• The Program Officer assigns Change Request (CR) and Naval Research Information System (NAVRIS) numbers to a proposal that will be recommended for funding. The PR Number is used to track the pending award through the ONR procurement system.
