The mission of the programs funded against CFDA 12.431 is to discover, innovate, and transition science and technology to ensure dominant strategic land power, now and into the future. To execute this mission, the Army leverages the substantial intellectual resource represented by the global academic scientific research community. Formation of a collaborative and transparent relationship with this community, with industry, and with small business through the Open Campus initiative offers the prospect for enhanced discovery and innovation, and effective execution of basic and applied research programs in a variety of technical focus areas of high Army interest.
The Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL), through its Army Research Office (ARO) extramural research program, drives cutting-edge foundational research and disruptive scientific discoveries that results in innovations that have significant impact on enabling new and improved Army operational capabilities and related technologies. ARO competitively selects and funds basic research proposals from educational institutions, nonprofit organizations and private industry to increase fundamental knowledge and understanding in the chemical, life, physical, engineering, materials, mechanical, computing, information, network, mathematical, earth, and social sciences, related to long-term national security needs. The research funded is conducted at 250 universities across the country and around the world with more than 1,100 individual researchers. The results of these research efforts are transitioned to the Army research and development community, industry, or academia for future technological superiority of our Soldiers, Army and nation. The research awarded under the grants and cooperative agreements represents the most long-range Army view, with system applications often 20-30 years away.
