The file is an abstract summary template for the RESTORE (Reengineering Enabling Sleep Transitions in Operationally Restrictive Environments) program solicited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The program seeks innovative proposals focusing on neuromodulation technologies to enhance sleep efficiency and cognitive performance under sleep-restricted conditions, specifically targeting noninvasive methods to repair disrupted sleep architectures.

The opportunity is part of DARPA's Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910), which supports basic, applied, and advanced research across various scientific domains. The program will utilize cooperative agreements and procurement contracts, with potential award values ranging from $100,149 to $10,050,000 and performance periods of 12-36 months. Proposals must demonstrate revolutionary approaches to sleep performance psychology, with explicitly excluded research that only provides incremental improvements to existing practices. The solicitation targets educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and commercial firms capable of developing transformative defense-related technological capabilities.
