This program, which is only available to researchers in states with DEPSCoR designation, encourages collaborations on basic research projects in 16 science and engineering topics between a researcher who is new to DOD funding and a partner who has had a DOD grant within the last 5 years. We will cover strategies for finding suitable collaborators (including some here at UK), structuring a successful collaboration, and presenting the proposed collaborative research at both the white paper and full proposal stage.

White Papers are due June 24, 2024
