About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) is seeking revolutionary research proposals through this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) HR001124S0028, targeting groundbreaking ideas in microsystems technology across three primary thrust areas: Scientific Disruption, Microsystems Manufacturing Ecosystem, and Dual Use by Design. The BAA solicits high-risk, high-reward research in domains such as quantum circuits, biological circuits, photonic circuits, and advanced manufacturing technologies, with a focus on developing innovations that can provide strategic technological advantages for national security. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to DARPA's mission, and cost realism, with a preference for research that goes beyond incremental improvements to existing practices. Eligible applicants include educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and commercial firms, with proposals accepted through various award instruments including procurement contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. Key dates include an abstract submission deadline of January 15, 2026, and a final proposal due date of March 2, 2026, with questions accepted until a specified date prior to the proposal deadline.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly defined, the BAA supports research funding across levels 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3, typically ranging from $125,000 to potentially $14,997,315, with performance periods anticipated to be between 9 to 36 months. The research is expected to be conducted primarily at the awardee's facilities, with potential for collaborative efforts across multiple disciplines. Proposers must comply with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, and are encouraged to demonstrate how their proposed work can create technological surprise and support national security objectives in the microsystems domain.
Synopsis
This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing MTO programs or other published solicitations.
