About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Buck Institute For Research On Aging with a ceiling of $7,994,597 on June 15, 2025, to support the Simulating Microbial System (SMS) program. This OT IDV sits outside the FAR and represents Buck Institute's primary contract vehicle; the institute's federal engagement is predominantly through NIH grant mechanisms in geroscience research, spanning cellular senescence, proteomics and metabolomics, Alzheimer's disease and neurodegeneration, mitochondrial function, and immunosenescence.
Buck Institute brings direct capability in spatial molecular imaging and mass spectrometry profiling of biological systems, evidenced by recent NIH-funded acquisition of a Bruker timsTOF Flex MALDI-2 mass spectrometry system for spatial imaging of proteins, lipids, and metabolites in human and animal tissues, and active research in spatial proteomics across multiple tissue types. The institute's research portfolio includes work on aging hallmarks — cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lysosomal biology — using human-induced pluripotent stem cell models and animal systems, positioning it to model microbial system dynamics across biological aging contexts.
The source does not disclose period of performance, place of performance beyond the institute's Novato, California headquarters, or recent task order activity under this SMS OT IDV.
