This is a federal basic-research program for U.S. universities, not for businesses: only degree-granting institutions of higher education with science or engineering programs may apply, and for-profit companies and small businesses are explicitly barred from receiving funds. If you run a business, nonprofit, or lab, do not apply — you can at most collaborate on research without receiving money. It suits multidisciplinary university faculty teams pursuing defense-relevant basic research.

Open only to U.S. degree-granting institutions of higher education with science/engineering programs (including DoW institutions; UARCs eligible if not FFRDCs). Funds multidisciplinary university teams conducting high-impact basic research on Department of War-relevant problems; industry, DoW labs, FFRDCs and foreign entities may collaborate but cannot receive funds.
Established in 1985, the Department of War Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program funds U.S. academic research teams to conduct high-impact basic research that addresses future challenges faced by the Department of War. The MURI program specifically supports U.S. university teams investigating complex, DoW-relevant problem sets at the intersection of multiple scientific disciplines. MURI teams bring together world-class faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students—helping to develop a technically advanced, defense-aware scientific workforce and strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base.
Our reading of the listing: for-profit businesses are not eligible for this one.
This MURI competition is open only to, and proposals are to be submitted only by, U.S. institutions
of higher education (universities) with degree-granting programs in science and/or engineering,
including DoW institutions of higher education.
To the extent that it is a part of a U.S.
institution of higher education and is not designated as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) is eligible to submit a proposal to this MURI competition and/or receive MURI funds. Ineligible organizations (e.g.,
industry, DoW laboratories, FFRDCs, and foreign entities) may collaborate on the research but may
not receive MURI funds directly or via subaward.
