Proposals will vary depending on technical field and geographic region.
The Basic Research Office anticipates approximately $1 million in total funding will be made available for this program to fully fund at award one grant up to $1 million (total cost).
The award will be funded up to $500,000 (total cost) per year for two (2) years.The award is subject to funding availability.
