DARPA  -  Funding Opportunity

(Full Proposals Due by 4:00pm ET, January 19, 2012)





The DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA) program aims to identify and engage
rising stars in junior faculty positions in academia and expose them to
Department of Defense (DoD) needs. In particular, YFA will provide
high-impact funding to the elite junior faculty early in their careers in
order to develop their research ideas in the context of DoD issues. The long
term goal of the program is to develop the next generation of academic
scientists, engineers, biologists and mathematicians in key disciplines of
interest to DARPA who will focus a significant portion of their career on
DoD and National Security issues.



This Research Announcement (RA) solicits single investigator proposals for
research and development in the areas of Physical Sciences, Engineering,
Mathematics, Medicine, Biology, Information and Social Sciences of interest
to DARPA's Defense Sciences Office (DSO), Microsystems Technology Office
(MTO), and Information Innovation Office (I2O).



Specific topic areas below are described in further detail in the attached
document.

1. Quantum Science and Technology

2. New Physical Methods for Applied Biology

a. Modulation and measurement of biological networks and signaling pathways

b. Hybrid biotic-abiotic interfaces

c. Minimally invasive recording and modulation
