Abstract Summary Slide [Use the Abstract Summary Slide template provided as Attachment 1 to the BAA and the classified addendum for instructions. Include the PowerPoint slide as a separate attachment to this document.]

Goals and Impact [Clearly describe what is being proposed and what difference it will make (qualitatively and quantitatively), including brief answers to the following questions:

1. What is the proposed work attempting to accomplish or do?

2. How is it done today and what are the limitations of the current practice?

3. What is new in your approach and why do you think that it will be successful?

4. Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?

5. What are the risks?

6. How much will it cost and how long will it take?]

Technical Plan [See classified addendum.]

Management and Capabilities [Provide a brief summary of expertise of the team, including subcontractors and key personnel. It is expected that proposals will involve multidisciplinary teams that include expertise from multiple complementary disciplines, for example, (e.g., biology, biotechnology, chemistry, ecology, materials science, molecular biology, and plant physiology).

A Principal Investigator (PI) for the project must be identified, along with a description of the team organization including the breakdown by Technical Area (TA). All teams are strongly encouraged to identify a Project Manager/Integrator to serve as the primary point of contact to communicate with the DARPA Program Manager, IV&V partner, and Contracting Officer’s Representative, coordinate the effort across co-performer, vendor, and subcontractor teams, organize regular performer meetings or discussions, facilitate data sharing, and ensure timely completion of milestones and deliverables.

Include a description of the team’s organization including roles and responsibilities. Team member descriptions should address the Technical Plan, describe the time and percent effort divisions for members participating across multiple TAs, and delineate individuals to avoid duplication of efforts.

Describe the organizational experience in this area, existing intellectual property required to complete the project, and any specialized facilities to be used as part of the project. List Government-furnished materials or data assumed to be available. Describe any specialized facilities to be used as part of the project, the extent of access to these facilities, and any biological containment, biosafety, and certification requirements.]

Cost and Schedule [Provide a cost estimate for resources over the proposed timeline of the project, broken down by phase and major cost items (e.g., labor, materials, etc.). Include cost estimates for each potential subcontractor (may be rough order of magnitude).]

Resumes (Optional) [Include (no more than 2) resumes of key team members, 1 of which must be for the PI.] Bibliography (Optional) [Provide a brief (no more than 2 pages) bibliography with links to relevant papers, references, reports, etc.]
