This federal contract opportunity notice seeks innovative molecular assessment and sensing technologies. The Air Force Research Laboratory is interested in technologies across ten key areas including biomarker discovery, air quality monitoring, molecular tools for biosignature tracking, engineered microorganisms, real-time molecular sensors, sensor development and testing, data science and model development, next generation sequencing, exploiting host-microbe interactions, and synthetic biology. The goal is to develop existing and novel technologies that can be integrated into current and future Air Force and Department of Defense platforms to provide improved human performance and protection capabilities in real-time operational environments. System biology efforts may examine genomic, metabolomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, microbiome, cellular, and tissue-level changes in response to diverse operational environment perturbations and build multi-scale models.
