IARPA - IARPA Releases Five New Innovation Programs to Enhance National Security Capabilities IARPA Releases Five New Innovation Programs to Enhance National Security Capabilities In alignment with President Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s ODNI 2.
0 vision to accelerate the delivery of technical capabilities to the Intelligence Community (IC), IARPA today released five new research efforts using the Emerging Technology Accelerator (ETA) framework to bring mission-critical innovation to fill IC gaps.
The announcement can be found here These five AI-focused programs were initially introduced in January at an IARPA-hosted Proposers’ Day (Hear PDDNI remarks ) attended by ODNI Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI) Aaron Lukas.
“These research programs will help build capabilities that are directly applicable to mission needs by bridging the technical gap between emerging solutions and successful application,” said PDDNI Lukas. “By working together, we can achieve great things and ensure our nation remains secure and prosperous in the face of emerging threats.
” “We want IARPA to be the front door for the IC’s emerging technology requirements to ensure we can harness private-sector expertise and accelerate breakthroughs in mission-critical technologies,” explained IARPA Director Russell Miller. The five research programs – ARCADE , COSMIC , DECIPHER , LOCUS , and MOVES - bring a specific focus on emerging areas of technology that are vital to the intelligence mission.
Ultimately these programs seek to enhance intelligence capabilities by extracting actionable insights from a variety of complex sources such as geospatial imagery, circuit design, linguistic trends, and open-source videos. The release of these programs represents an opportunity for the Government to engage directly with industry to accelerate the delivery of needed technological solutions.
Based on current listing details, eligibility includes: IARPA emphasizes significant non-traditional participation, with at least one non-traditional defense contractor or non-profit research institution participating to a significant extent. Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.
Current published award information indicates Varies (Other Transaction Authority model) Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is rolling deadlines or periodic funding windows. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
RFI on Biologically-Derived Materials for Transient Propulsion Systems is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). IARPA is seeking information on bio-derived materials for transient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion systems. This RFI (IARPA-RFI-26-01) explores the possibility of growing, rather than machining, drone engines and their ability to disappear after a mission.
IARPA's Commercial Observation for Spatio-temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) program aims to integrate commercial remote sensing data and open-source geolocation information into dynamic geospatial models and develop an agentic AI analytic system capable of answering intelligence questions. The program is part of IARPA's Emerging Technology Accelerator (ETA) framework released in April 2026, supporting high-risk high-payoff R&D for the Intelligence Community. COSMIC seeks to create AI systems that generate pseudo-persistent geospatial intelligence from non-persistent commercial satellite and sensor data.
The OCRP Outcomes Consortium Development Award supports a multi-institutional research effort conducted by leading ovarian cancer researchers and consumer advocates that specifically focuses on identifying and understanding predictors of disease outcomes in ovarian cancer patients. This effort will be executed through a two-stage approach using two separate award mechanisms: this FY12 Outcomes Consortium Development Award, which will enable the consortium to lay the groundwork for the research project, including proof of concept, and the FY14 Outcomes Consortium Award, which will support the execution of the full research project. Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-12-OCRP-OCDA. Assistance Listing: 12.420. Funding Instrument: CA,G. Category: ST. Award Amount: $1.3M total program funding.
SBIR/STTR Programs is sponsored by Defense Health Agency (DHA). The DHA SBIR and STTR programs support U.S. small businesses in developing high-risk, high-impact medical materiel technologies with potential for wider commercialization, including those that could leverage AI for warfighter health and survival. This program seeks proposals that demonstrate both technical innovation and real clinical relevance in areas such as trauma care, battlefield triage, far-forward telemedicine, and digital health systems with AI-enabled triage.
