The federal Project Grant award under CFDA program 12.910 "Research and Technology Development" provides $250,000.00 in funding to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct innovative, high-risk, high-reward research in areas of interest to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The research supported by this 2-year award, effective Sep 1, 2024, aims to develop transformative defense capabilities and prevent technological surprise, with a focus on addressing challenges across DARPA's technical domains including biological technologies, defense sciences, information innovation, microsystems technology, strategic technology, and tactical technology. The research will be carried out by rising academic researchers at the University of Michigan, a leading public research institution, to expose them to Department of Defense needs and DARPA's mission. This grant is part of DARPA's Young Faculty Award program, which identifies and supports promising early-career researchers in both academia and nonprofit research institutions to pursue innovative, revolutionary research rather than incremental improvements.
