This federal contract was awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, to develop new systematic approaches that increase the pace of discovery and optimization of high-performance molecules for Department of Defense (DoD) needs. The goal of the "Accelerated Molecular Discovery (AMD)" program is to create closed-loop systems that can rapidly identify, validate, and optimize new molecules through data extraction, autonomous experimentation, and computational modeling. The $21,032,097.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract does not have a set-aside designation. As the prime contractor, SRI International has subcontracted with vendors such as YMC America, Nordson EFD, Caltrol, Rutgers University, MWA Life Sciences, Ohio State University, Collaborations Pharmaceuticals, and Battelle Memorial Institute to provide specialized equipment, consulting services, modeling, and research support for this DARPA program.
