The research led to notable publications, including the article "Chaotic dynamics in an insect population," Science 275:389-391, which reports the observation of classical signs of chaos-period-doubling, bifurcations, and strange attractors in laboratory populations of the flour beetle, providing rare and compelling data in support of a controversial theory of nonlinear population dynamics.5 The Of lice of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) is another resource available to program officers seeking supplementary funding for new, cross-disciplinary proposals.

Most proposals are evaluated according to the following criteria: _~ ~- -D-~ Overall scientific, technical, and/or socioeconomic merits of the proposal; Potential naval relevance and contributions of the effort to the agency's specific mission; · The principal investigator's capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques, or unique combinations of these, which are integral factors for achieving the proposal objectives; · The qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed principal investigator, the team leader, and key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives; and · Realism of the proposed cost and availability of funds. For some programs, proposal submission is a two-step process: white papers are sought from prospective principal investigators.
