About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to The Trustees of Princeton University on June 15, 2026, with a ceiling of $1.7 million for R&D in generative optogenetics focused on optogenetic RNA generation in enclaves (FORGE). This OT IDV sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and operates as a multiple-award vehicle. The university's Office of Research and Project Administration serves as the administering division.
No orders or task assignments under this OT IDV are identified in the source. The ceiling and agreement structure position this vehicle to support prototype development and advanced research in optogenetics, aligning with DARPA's innovation priorities in biological systems and genetic engineering. Princeton's established track record executing complex research initiatives—including a prior DARPA Other Transaction IDV for experimental neutrino detector prototype development valued at $15.96 million—demonstrates institutional capacity for the technical execution required under this agreement.
