Information Innovation Office (I2O) Office-wide

This Broad Agency Announcement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Information Innovation Office seeks proposals for revolutionary research ideas not addressed by ongoing programs. Proposals must address one of four thrust areas: proficient artificial intelligence, advantage in cyber operations, confidence in the information domain, or resilient, adaptable, and secure systems. Proposals will be evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to DARPA's mission, and cost realism. The deadline for proposal submission is October 27, 2023.

No set-aside designations are reserved, and multiple awards are anticipated to be issued before the October 27, 2023 deadline under applicable PSC codes in line with I2O's focus areas. Eligible applicants include all responsible sources, and the Government may award contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions depending on the nature of the work. Evaluation of proposals will be based on overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to DARPA's mission, and cost realism.
