About this award
This $272,460 federal contract was awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to Florida State University (FSU) for research into magnetic field-driven rare earth separation methods. The contract has a definitive contract structure and cost-no-fee pricing type, with a period of performance through March 2023. No set-aside designation was used.
The contract supports fundamental research related to DARPA's Defense Sciences Office mission of identifying next-generation scientific discoveries. Under this effort, FSU is collaborating with the Colorado School of Mines as a subcontractor to develop ion-exchange and liquid-liquid separation strategies enhanced by magnetic fields for separating rare earth elements and radium from phosphorite and phosphogypsum waste. This work aligns with DARPA's technical thrust areas focused on frontiers in math, computation, and design, as well as limits of sensing and sensors. The contract is part of a broader DARPA indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle that FSU holds, which supports research into advanced materials, including ferroelectric nitrides.
