This pre-solicitation notice seeks innovative molecular assessment and sensing technologies. The Air Force Research Laboratory is interested in technologies across ten key areas: 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 effort aims to develop existing and novel technologies that can integrate 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 could examine changes in genomes, metabolomes, proteomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes, microbiomes, cell and tissue architecture in response to diverse operational environment perturbations and build multi-scale models.
