This document is a template for an Abstract Summary Slide for the Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) federal grant opportunity solicited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

The SURGE program is seeking innovative proposals to accelerate distributed additive manufacturing of critical structural parts. The research aims to develop methods to predict part life directly from data collected during additive manufacturing, enabling a new paradigm for efficient part qualification. Proposed research must investigate approaches that enable revolutionary advances in distributed additive manufacturing capability, with a focus on merging in-situ sensing, process modeling, and microstructure-based fatigue life methods. The federal grant program under which this opportunity is assigned is the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910). Applicant types include other entities beyond just educational institutions and nonprofit organizations. The funding instruments available are Cooperative Agreements and Procurement Contracts.
