战争部宣布1.5亿美元多学科大学研究奖：20个团队、57所院校入选，单项平均750万美元为期五年
美国华盛顿消息：美国战争部10月29日宣布，通过「多学科大学研究计划」（MURI）拨款1.5亿美元，资助与国防相关的基础研究项目。本轮共有20个团队、来自全美57所学术机构入选，单项资助平均750万美元、为期五年，最终拨付视研究进展与经费到位情况而定。
战争部负责研究与工程事务的副部长办公室研究政策主任贾森·戴（Jason Day）表示：「MURI 计划把全国各机构的多学科团队汇聚起来，攻关我们最复杂的科学难题。多种视角与方法的结合，能催生大胆的跨领域研究，带来突破并拓展可能性的边界。」
MURI 计划始于1985年，旨在让不同学科的研究者组队产出集体洞见，为战争部的独特挑战开发前沿技术，与该部的单人研究者基础科研拨款互补。其历史成果包括固体酸燃料电池的突破、推动电池设计与微电子进步的新型纳米级 X 射线成像技术，以及促成微接触印刷首次演示的自组装材料进展——微接触印刷如今广泛应用于微电子、表面化学与细胞生物学领域。
本轮资助由陆军研究办公室、空军科研办公室与海军研究办公室就战争部战略重要议题征集2026财年提案，经同行评议程序评定：专家组先审阅451份白皮书，筛选出74份完整提案，最终评出20项资助。获奖团队名单已由战争部公布。
Department of War Announces $150 Million in MURI Awards: 20 Teams at 57 Universities, Averaging $7.5 Million Over Five Years
In Washington, the U.S. Department of War announced on October 29 that it will award $150 million for basic defense-related research projects under the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). The awards, averaging $7.5 million over five years, will support 20 teams at 57 U.S. academic institutions, subject to satisfactory research progress and the availability of funds.
"The MURI program brings together multidisciplinary teams from institutions across the country to tackle some of our most complex scientific challenges," said Jason Day, Research Policy Director within the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering. "By deploying a mix of perspectives and approaches, MURI projects foster the kind of bold, cross-cutting research that can spark breakthroughs and push the boundaries of what's possible."
Since its inception in 1985, the Department's MURI program has brought together teams of investigators from many different disciplines to generate collective insights and develop cutting-edge technologies for the Department's unique challenges, complementing its single-investigator basic research grants. Notable MURI achievements include breakthroughs in solid-acid fuel cells, novel nanoscale X-ray imaging techniques that enable advances in battery design and microelectronics, and advances in self-assembled materials that led to the first demonstration of microcontact printing, now widely used in microelectronics, surface chemistry, and cell biology.
The Army Research Office, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and the Office of Naval Research solicited fiscal year 2026 proposals in topic areas of strategic importance to the Department. After a merit-based review of 451 white papers, a panel of experts narrowed the pool to 74 full proposals, from which the 20 final awards were selected. The list of winning teams has been published by the Department.
