The grant supports UCSF in conducting innovative fundamental research that could enable transformative Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities. The YFA program aims to identify and fund rising research stars in academia to develop new approaches in areas of interest to DARPA's technical offices, such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. As a premier academic medical center and research institution, UCSF is well-positioned to deliver on the grant objectives and advance scientific knowledge with potential national security applications.
