Abstract:

In this presentation we describe the Basic Science Funding Mechanisms offered by the US Office of Naval Research Global for (i.) scientific projects of up to 3 years in duration, (ii.) the organization of conferences, workshops or symposia, (iii.) prospective trips to the United States to visit / explore / discuss possible collaborations or new ideas with Navy personnel, and (iv.) the yearly issued Global Challenge. Projects may be experimental or purely theoretical. The aforementioned funding mechanisms are opened to all scientists and researchers living and working outside the United States, regardless of their nationality. Formatting, topics of interest, windows of opportunity and practical considerations are included in this presentation. Emphasis is given to Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Materials Science and Computer Science (including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc.), however there are also opportunities to scientists working in other fields.
