Cornucopia_Amendment_1_Summary.pdf

This document amends a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The amendment changes the abstract due date from December 20, 2021 to January 6, 2022, changes the FAQ deadline from January 24, 2022 to February 8, 2022, and changes the proposal due date from February 7, 2022 to February 22, 2022. The solicitation, called Cornucopia, seeks innovative research proposals to develop field-deployable capabilities for on-demand production of nutritious, palatable foodstuffs from engineered microbes, air, water, and electricity. The research must investigate innovative approaches and drive revolutionary advances in science, devices, and/or systems to enable production of nutrition on demand at the point of consumption, as defined in two DARPA use cases. Research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements is excluded.
