Description
DOD's
MURI program addresses high risk basic research and attempts to understand or
achieve something that has never been done before. The program was initiated
over 25 years ago and it has regularly produced significant scientific
breakthroughs with far reaching consequences to the fields of science, economic
growth, and revolutionary new military technologies. Key to the program’s
success is the close management of the MURI projects by Service program officers
and their active role in providing research guidance.
