Current funding opportunities within The US Office of Naval Research Global
Dr Andrey Kanaev, Science Director, Office of Naval Research Global.

The US Office of Naval Research Global (https://www.onr.navy.mil/en/Science-Technology/ONR-Global) is the external facilitator for the Office of Naval Research (https://www.onr.navy.mil/).

Our mission is to seek out promising, emerging scientific research and advanced technologies; investigate and assess revolutionary, high-payoff technologies for future missions and capabilities. Our goal is to foster collaborations and support cutting edge research through various funding mechanisms. In order to facilitate this interaction ONRG provides funding support along three distinct avenues:

1. Collaborative Science Program. This program provides financial support for workshops/symposia organized to convene world leaders in a specific field to discuss issues, challenges, and future expectations in the specific field.
2. Visiting Scientist Program. This program offers financial support for travel to the United States to meet with academia/industry/government in order to strengthen existing collaborations and realize new partnerships in
an effort to jointly advance the cutting edge basic research projects.
3. Naval International Cooperative Opportunities Program. This program provides a grant to conduct basic research at non-US institutions. The program is intended to support cutting edge, blue sky, high risk/high reward basic research projects that have the potential to be innovative and disruptive in the field.

I will discuss these opportunities in more detail, followed by 1:1 meetings with any interested researchers who have ideas they would like to get funded. If you would like to arrange a 1:1 meeting in advance, please contact Gail McConnell (g.mcconnell at strath.ac.uk<mailto:g.mcconnell at strath.ac.uk>) with your availability on 21st September.
