DOD Frequently Asked Questions

Can universities apply for DOD grants?
Yes. Universities are among the primary recipients of DOD research grants, particularly through DARPA, ARO, ONR, and AFOSR. Academic researchers can apply directly or partner with defense contractors.
What is the DOD SBIR program?
DOD operates the largest SBIR program in the federal government. Phase I awards provide up to $250,000 for feasibility studies (6 months). Phase II awards provide up to $1.75 million for prototype development (24 months). Phase III involves commercialization with DoD procurement.
Does DOD fund unclassified research?
Yes. The majority of DOD extramural grants (especially basic research funded through ARO, ONR, and AFOSR) are unclassified and published openly. DARPA programs may have classified components but often have unclassified research tracks.
