Knowledge Management at Scale and Speed (KMASS)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Defense Sciences Office seeks proposals through September 2, 2021 to conduct research that will enable effective knowledge management at scale and speed. Proposals should investigate revolutionary approaches to collecting, organizing, sharing, and applying organizational knowledge about key tasks, with the goal of enabling transformational advances in science, technology, or systems. Research proposals will be evaluated based on the feasibility of the proposed technical approach, management plan, and ability to meet milestones and deliverables.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. Research will fall under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code R699. Potential awards are expected to range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 over three phases from January 2022 through December 2024. Proposals must include detailed cost estimates and schedules by fiscal year. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks to fund multiple innovative research efforts to dramatically advance knowledge management capabilities.
