About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a $11,517,142.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to SRI International, a non-profit research and development institute, for the Computational Cultural Understanding (CCU) program. The CCU program seeks to develop cross-cultural language understanding technologies to improve situational awareness and effectiveness for Department of Defense (DoD) operators interacting across societies, languages, and cultural groups. The contract has no set-aside designation.

The original solicitation was a Broad Agency Announcement for the CCU program, which aimed to advance natural language processing technologies to recognize, adapt to, and recommend how to operate within the emotional, social, and cultural norms that differ across societies, languages, and group affinities. The contract includes a subcontract with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to provide new methods that exploit both linguistic and nonlinguistic behaviors, and that make effective use of models based on conversational analysis research.

SRI International is an experienced federal contractor, having received numerous awards from agencies like DARPA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense for advanced research and development in areas such as defense technologies, biomedical sciences, and computing. The CCU contract aligns with DARPA's mission to develop breakthrough technologies for national security.
