This announcement describes a research thrust, entitled "Select Topics in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" to be launched under the ONRBAA15-001, Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology which can be found at http://www.onr.navy.mil/~/media/Files/Funding-Announcements/BAA/2015/15-001.ashx . The research opportunity described in this announcement specifically falls under the following sections of ONRBAA15-001: Topic #1- Self-Assembly Error Detection and Analysis in Complex DNA Nanostructures: Section I, entitled "General Information", sub-section F, entitled "Research Opportunity Description", the "Warfighter Performance (Code 34)" item, paragraph 2), listed C "Biomaterials and Bionanotechnology" Topic #2 - Electric Field Assisted Sintering of Ceramics: Section I, entitled "General Information", sub-section F, entitled "Research Opportunity Description", the "Sea Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 33)" item, paragraph 2), subparagraph b, entitled "Structural Materials". Topic #3 - Low Cost, Large Area Processing of Silicon Based Thin Film Solar Cells: Section I, entitled "General Information", sub-section 6, entitled "Research Opportunity Description", the "Sea Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 33)" item, paragraph 2), subparagraph a, entitled "Functional Materials". ONR anticipates only grants will be issued for this effort. The submission of proposals, their evaluation and the placement of research grants will be carried out as described in that Broad Agency Announcement.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for its Young Investigator Program (YIP). ONR's Young Investigator Program (YIP) seeks to identify and support academic scientists and engineers who are in their first or second full-time tenure-track or tenure-track-equivalent academic appointment, have begun their first appointment on or after 31 December 2012, and who show exceptional promise for doing creative research. The objectives of this program are to attract outstanding faculty members of Institutions of Higher Education (hereafter also called "universities") to the Department of the Navy's Science and Technology (S&T) research program, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers. Proposals addressing research areas (as described in the ONR Science and Technology Department section of ONR's website at www.onr.navy.mil) which are of interest to ONR program officers will be considered. Contact information for each division (a subgroup of an S&T Department) is also listed within the S&T section of the website

The Office of Naval Research (ONR), ONR Global, and Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) are interested in receiving proposals for Long-Range S&T Projects which offer potential for advancement and improvement of Navy and Marine Corps operations. Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ONR, ONRG and MCWLs broad role in competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is sponsoring an event (D3) to (1) familiarize attendees with DSO's mission and the nature of the efforts we support; (2) promote understanding of how to do business with DSO and (3) facilitate discussions with potential performers. The event is scheduled for Thursday, June 15, 2017 at the DoubleTree Crystal City (300 Army Navy Drive Arlington, VA 22202); selected sessions will be webcast for those who would like to participate remotely.  Advance registration is required for attending the event in person or for viewing the webcast.
