The Department of Defense has released the FY 2025 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship (VBFF) funding opportunity announcement. DOD is seeking single investigators to conduct basic, unclassified research in DOD areas of interest. Particularly, DOD is seeking ambitious “blue sky” science and engineering research proposals that could spark new, revolutionary capabilities. The program aims to foster enduring relationships with VBFF Fellows, who go on to become experts and conveners in Defense science and technology communities. Applicants must identify one of the program’s eight scientific areas of interest to which their proposal best corresponds or submit under the “other” category. For more information, please see this Lewis-Burke report.
