Description

 

DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals of interest to the Defense Sciences Office. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science and technology. Specifically excluded is research that results primarily in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of the art. The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) seeks unconventional approaches that are outside the mainstream, undertaking directions that challenge assumptions and have the potential to radically change established practice. Information about ongoing DSO programs can be found at http://www.darpa.mil/Our_Work/DSO/Programs/. Submission of white papers in advance of full proposals is strongly encouraged to ascertain interest from DSO and for quick feedback.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Biomedical research

• Rapid response protective or therapeutic treatments for biological and chemical threats

• Preventing and countering effects of nuclear and radiological weapons

• WMD remediation and neutralization techniques

Neuro-technology and neuroscience research, tools and applications

• Modeling of biological systems; biomimetic and bio-inspired technologies

• New ways to assess, optimize, and restore human performance

Bioelectronic and biophotonic interfaces

• New methods for direct manipulation and control of biomaterials

• Combat casualty care techniques

• Advanced training technologies

• Robotic and autonomous technologies

• Materials science research

• Quantum science and technologies

• Power and energy research

• Applied mathematics

• Advanced technologies for manufacturing

• Radically new ways of conducting scientific research
