Open - DARPA's Defense Sciences Office reissued this office-wide BAA as HR001126S0015 on Aug 28, 2026; abstracts and proposals are accepted through Aug 27, 2027.
Historical funding: See official notice
Prior eligibility: Scientists and researchers at educational institutions, typically faculty or postdoctoral researchers. Graduate students and undergraduates performing research under supervision may also qualify.
Grants for Innovative Approaches that Enable Revolutionary Advances in Science, Devices, or Systems for National Security Applications (DARPA – Broad Agency Announcement) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This Broad Agency Announcement from DARPA's Defense Sciences Office seeks proposals for innovative approaches to enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems for national security applications. This can include data science research with defense relevance.
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.
