DARPA Triage Challenge (DTC) Event 3 is a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that funds competing teams developing scalable, timely, and accurate mass casualty triage tools for both military and civilian crisis scenarios.
The challenge drives innovation in identifying vital signs of injury, locating and assessing casualties, and transmitting critical data to help medical responders prioritize care when resources are stretched. Event 3 awards range from $500,000 to $1,500,000. The application deadline is November 14, 2026.
Teams must register through the DARPA team portal and review the Resources section for submission requirements. The program builds on prior challenge events showcased in immersive competition environments.

The DARPA Triage Challenge (DTC) seeks to transform how medical responders triage in mass casualty incidents by advancing scalable, timely, and accurate tools. Through a series of challenge events, DTC drives innovations in identifying vital signs of injury, locating and assessing casualties, and transmitting critical data.
These breakthroughs aim to help responders prioritize care and save lives when medical resources are stretched in both civilian and military crises. The DARPA Triage Challenge aims to drive breakthrough innovations in identification of “signatures” of injury that will help medical responders perform scalable, timely, and accurate triage. | 2:18 | More information on DVIDS Source: DARPA | Spencer Bruttig On Sept.

DPA26BZ06-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.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV026 offers $300,000 at Phase I or $1,800,000 as a single Direct-to-Phase-II tranche with no options. The deliverable is a simulated auction market that measures whether AI agents deceive, collude, or manipulate the humans they serve — measured entirely from the outside. Here is the 90% efficiency gate, the team composition most bidders will get wrong, and why this topic sits in DARPA's biology office.
