DARPA Tactical Technology Office BAA is a broad agency announcement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that invites proposals for innovative research and technology development that fall outside the scope of currently active program-specific solicitations. Open to all responsible sources, the BAA is posted to SAM. gov and refreshed annually with a deadline of June 2026.
All DARPA technical offices maintain their own dedicated BAAs to capture cutting-edge ideas at every stage of development. This office-wide mechanism is intended for proposals that do not fit neatly into existing programs, making it an important entry point for novel concepts in defense-relevant science and engineering that could eventually shape future DARPA programs.

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 to our technical offices.

DARPA Young Faculty Award is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The DARPA Young Faculty Award program identifies and engages rising academics in early-career research positions, particularly those with minimal prior DARPA funding, to expose them to Department of Defense (DOD) needs. The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) within DARPA has open topic areas in Physical Sciences, including open quantum systems, quantum-enhanced sensing, novel qubit platforms, complex chemical systems, nuclear systems and beams, nuclear particle/photon interactions, and nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a federal grant program administered by FEMA through the Office of the Governor's Public Safety Office that funds enhanced border security cooperation among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Border Patrol, and state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. The program supports joint operations to secure land and water border routes, improve intelligence sharing, and expand 287(g) screening operations within correctional facilities. In 2025, the national priority is Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement, covering training, operational coordination, and risk management. Eligible expenses include operational overtime costs, staffing support for screening activities, and training programs in immigration law, civil rights protections, and 287(g) procedures.
DoD Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) is sponsored by Department of Defense (DoD) - Office of Naval Research (ONR). The Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI), administered by the Department of Defense Office of Naval Research, supports basic research in science and engineering at U. S.
MTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
Read articleDARPA's Defense Sciences Office and Biological Technologies Office pre-released four SBIR XL topics on June 3 with proposals open June 24 and due July 22. Read the four as a single coordinated bet on the deployed soldier — sensing, recovery, power, and pathogen defense — and the strategy for filing across the quartet becomes clear.
Read articleOn June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly \$750K to \$3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
