About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Innovation Office (I2O) is seeking revolutionary research proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) targeting innovative topics not currently addressed by existing I2O programs. The solicitation aims to develop groundbreaking research in four key thrust areas: proficient artificial intelligence, resilient and secure systems, cyber operations, and confidence in the information domain. Potential proposers must first submit an abstract for initial review, with DARPA recommending whether to proceed with a full proposal, though submission is not mandatory. Proposals will be comprehensively evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to DARPA's mission, and cost realism. The BAA encourages submissions from diverse sources, including educational institutions, nonprofits, commercial firms, historically Black colleges, and small businesses, with abstracts accepted on a rolling basis until October 1, 2025, and full proposals due by October 29, 2025.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly defined, the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910) typically provides cooperative agreements ranging from $100,000 to $2.8 million with performance periods of 12 to 36 months. Multiple award instruments are possible, including procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, and other transactions for research or prototypes. Research will likely be conducted at the awardee's facilities, with an emphasis on developing transformative technological approaches that can provide decisive information advantages for the United States. The BAA supports fundamental, applied, and advanced research, targeting unconventional computational methods that challenge existing technological assumptions and create potential breakthrough capabilities in information and computational sciences.
Synopsis
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing I2O programs or other published solicitations. Potential proposers are highly encouraged to review the current I2O programs (http://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/i2o) and solicitations (http://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/opportunities) to avoid proposing efforts that duplicate existing activities or that are responsive to other published I2O solicitations.
