Physical
Sciences S&T Division (Code 331)
|
The Physical Sciences Division concentrates support
in Novel Power and Energy Transfer (NPET) and Environmental
Quality (EQ). Program officers in the Physical Sciences
Division have diverse backgrounds in fields of chemistry,
physics, and materials science to bring a unique perspective
to each programmatic area. The current programmatic
areas focus basic and exploratory development on areas
which will have broad impact on future Naval Forces.
Ultimately we seek to support science that addresses
critical scientific and technical (S&T) issues necessary
to develop technologies for the warfighter. Individuals
seeking support are encouraged to provide a strong S&T
proposal that clearly outlines a vision for a future
technology of benefit to the Navy and Marine Corps while
putting forward strong scientific concepts that will
form the basis of this technology. In general we are
looking for high risk, high pay-off
approaches that could potentially offer order
of magnitude increases in a specific capability/metric.
We actively seek research ideas (white papers, proposals)
that address the programs described. Interested individuals
should contact program officers in the areas described
below to determine specific directions relative to the
physical sciences programs. Our programs are dynamic
and we welcome discussions of novel concepts outside
the current programmatic areas. Support of these seedling
concepts will ultimately lead to new programmatic
emphasis areas. We also encourage and support interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary
research. Partnerships between universities, industry
and government labs are encouraged. For a description
of each programmatic area please click on the topics
