Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcements Department of War organization. Office-wide Broad Agency Announcements Office-wide Broad Agency Announcements Our primary vehicle for funding basic and applied R&D programs is the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). A program BAA defines an area of interest and specifies the type of award (contract, grant, or cooperative agreement).
BAAs are open to all proposers who can meet the agency’s needs. They do not guarantee an award will be made. All BAAs are posted to the federal government’s System for Award Management .
Each of our technical offices maintains a dedicated BAA to enable researchers to propose ideas that may fall outside our current priorities but have potential value to national security. To guide proposers, each office-wide BAA outlines the office’s current technical areas of interest. Office-wide BAAs are refreshed annually.
Get to know our current interests and priorities and pitch your best idea.

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.
