About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is soliciting innovative proposals for revolutionary research in science, devices, or systems that could enable breakthroughs for national security applications. The BAA covers a wide range of research areas including novel materials, sensing, computation, enabling operations, collective intelligence, and emerging threats. Proposals will be evaluated on scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the DARPA mission, and cost/schedule realism. The BAA has a rolling deadline of June 5, 2025, and is open to U.S. and non-U.S. sources, with Historically Black Colleges, Small Businesses, and Minority Institutions encouraged to participate.
Multiple awards are anticipated through cooperative agreements, procurement contracts, and other transaction mechanisms. Funding is provided through the DARPA Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910), with typical award values ranging from $125,000 to $14,997,315 and performance periods of 9 to 36 months. The research is expected to focus on revolutionary approaches that go beyond incremental improvements to create strategic surprise advantages for the Department of Defense.
Synopsis
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is soliciting innovative proposals that investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems for national security applications. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. The DARPA Defense Sciences Office regularly publishes Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) requesting responses to specific program topics. This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing DSO programs or other published solicitations.
