Pentagon Funding Program Opens Door to U.K. Collaboration
The military wants academic researchers to explore how to emulate the explosive biological forces produced by organisms, such as frogs, when they jump. A long-running Pentagon program that pumps about $250 million annually into U.S. universities for basic research is taking on an international flavor. This year, for the first time, the Department of Defense formally encouraged U.S. applicants to partner with researchers from the United Kingdom in seeking grants from the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative program.
