The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $500,000 Young Faculty Award (YFA) grant under the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910) to Brown University. The YFA program aims to engage promising junior researchers, particularly those without prior DARPA funding, and expose them to DoD needs and DARPA's mission to create and prevent technological surprise. The grant will provide high-impact funding to Brown University to develop innovative research that enables transformative DoD capabilities, ultimately helping to cultivate the next generation of researchers focused on national security issues. The proposed research is expected to investigate revolutionary approaches across DARPA's technical focus areas, including biological technologies, defense sciences, information innovation, microsystems technology, and more, rather than resulting in evolutionary improvements to existing technologies.
