Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) program is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The AIQ program seeks to develop technology to assess and understand the capabilities of AI to enable guaranteed performance. Researchers will develop mathematical foundations, combined with advances in measurement and modeling, to quantify an AI system's capabilities, when they will or will not manifest, and why.

U.S. DOD DARPA - Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) - EPFL U.S. DOD DARPA - Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the technical areas of assessing and understanding the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable mathematical guarantees on performance of generative AI.
Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) will develop technology to assess and understand the capabilities of AI to enable guaranteed performance.
The program will test the hypothesis that mathematical methods, combined with advances in measurement and modelling, will allow guaranteed quantification of AI capabilities. Specifically, the program will address three interrelated capability levels: classes of problem level, and natural class level, aiming to address the quantification and assessment challenges at each level.
Two technical areas (TA) of Interest: The goal of TA1 is to provide rigorous foundations for understanding and guaranteeing capabilities across levels; teams proposing for TA1 are expected to be led by individuals with deep technical expertise, such as pure or applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, or statistics, or other relevant expertise and demonstrate relevance to AI.
The goal of TA2 is to develop methods for evaluating AI models, integrating and evaluating TA1 results at scale using appropriate research datasets; teams proposing for TA2 are expected to comprise computational, cognitive, and/or behavioral scientists with expertise in AI evaluation. A single proposal may address only one of the TA; no combined proposals for TA1 or TA2 will be accepted.
Projects are expected to have a duration of 36 months, divided into two phases of 18 months each. The Funding Opportunity announcement does not mention a specific maximum budget, the cost realism is one of the evaluation criteria. Proposers Day: June 14, 2024 [REQUIRED] Proposal Abstract: June 25, 2024 at 12:00 PM.
Full proposal: August 13, 2024 at 12:00 PM Eligibility / Restrictions: EPFL researchers are encouraged to participate. For this call, the U.S. government expects fundamental research, encouraging opensource regimes as well as a collaborative and transparent environment. The ReO is available to verify that both the conditions of the funder and interests of EPFL are respected.
Proposers are required to submit a two-page abstract. Proposers will receive a written response to their abstract either encouraging or discouraging a full proposal submission. This written response will include a rationale for the decision.
Proposers may only submit a full proposal if their abstract received an encourage response. Funder Website: https://www. darpa.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
Kidney Cancer Research Program (KCRP) Idea Development Award (IDA) is sponsored by Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity - DHACA. This award supports the development of high-impact ideas that advance the understanding of kidney cancer and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes, with a focus on well-formulated, testable hypotheses and strong scientific rationale.
Pancreatic Cancer Research Program (PCARP) Patient-Centered Focus Area Award is sponsored by Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), Department of Defense. This award supports the exploration and development of impactful and innovative concepts under a patient-centered focus that could ultimately lead to major advancements in patients' overall quality of life.
FY26 Rare Cancers Research Program (RCRP) Concept Award is sponsored by Department of Defense (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). This award supports the initial exploration of highly innovative, untested, potentially ground-breaking novel concepts in rare cancers. The potential impact may be near-term or long-term but must move beyond a minor advancement and demonstrate the potential to lead to a fundamentally new strategy or approach. Must address focus areas like Biology, Preclinical Research Model, Therapy, or AI/ML Model.
DARPA's FY26 Release 6 carries seven SBIR and three STTR topics closing October 21, 2026. TRIAGE-X and ICU-in-a-Box are listed at $2 million each, CORPS at $750,000 — not Phase I feasibility money. Meanwhile DoW FY-27 Release 1 pre-released October 7 with 25 topics, zero of them DARPA's, and a new one-proposal-per-topic rule that took effect October 1. Here is how to read both calendars.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV023 is a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR paying $700,000 over 18 months plus a $500,000 option. The physics demands 256x more transmit power than the systems that qualify you to compete, and DARPA will not accept modeling alone as proof. Here is the eligibility wall, the five engineering problems, and who can realistically win it before the October 21 close.
Read articleRelease 6's SBIR topics got the attention. Its three STTR topics — SHIELDER, fuel-flexible electric propulsion, and hypersonic wind tunnel noise diagnostics — are all Direct-to-Phase-II, all require a research institution to perform at least 30 percent of the work, and all close October 21, 2026. The feasibility gates are the real filter.
