About this award
Systems & Technology Research LLC (STR) was awarded a $5.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on December 4, 2024, for the Scientific Feasibility (SCIFY) program. The contract, which extends through July 31, 2027, supports DARPA's initiative to develop computational methods for measuring the feasibility of technical claims across materials science, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing domains. Under this effort, STR will assess datasets and develop computational approaches to measure the feasibility of scientific claims, enabling accurate assessment of scientific content. The work will be performed at STR's facility in Woburn, Massachusetts, with no small business set-aside designation applied to this award.
STR is executing this effort with support from two major subcontractors: Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), which was awarded a subcontract on February 19, 2025, to develop a framework for incorporating domain-specific knowledge to evaluate claims for the SCIFY program; and the University of Illinois, which received a subcontract on January 29, 2025, to develop algorithms for decomposing claims into constituent elements and relations and identifying prospective evidence. These academic partnerships complement STR's established expertise in advanced research and development for defense and intelligence applications, leveraging the universities' capabilities in scientific research methodology and computational analysis.
