The primary application is to produce revolutionary nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for use in technologies like LiDAR and optical communications. This 36-month, two-phase program requires performers to first develop and demonstrate a PPP synthesis capability resulting in an NLO material that meets state-of-the-art performance (Phase I, 12 months). Subsequently, performers will optimize these synthesis methods to create a revolutionary NLO material with significantly enhanced properties (e.g., n3r33 ≥ 8000 pm/V) and integrate it into a government-provided electro-optic modulator for final demonstration (Phase II, 24 months). The program emphasizes the use of computational modeling to guide synthesis and material design, and it requires a clear path to scalability and integration into manufacturing processes. Performance will be validated by an independent government team. The solicitation excludes proposals focused solely on inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing technologies. | APM@darpa.mil | Oliver Gessner John Terning Harold Barnard Aurelie Champagne Chang Dou Lisa Claus Didier Perrodin Yi Liu Ishan Srivastava Lane Martin Thomas Russell Marina Radulaski Beihang Yu Arian Gashi Mengjie Yu Ahmad Omar Andrew Minor Eric Masanet Kelly Kissock Jeremy Demarteau Kin Yu Ian Lacey F.

The program's goal is to counter adversaries seeking to cause disruption, rather than just profit. The technical approach involves creating a prototype capability to automatically model market designs, identify hidden weaknesses, and recommend repairs. This will be achieved by using Large Language Models (LLMs) and other automation to translate informal market descriptions (e.g., regulatory filings) into formal, machine-analyzable models. Against these models, the program will formulate and assess "resilience conjectures"—mathematical statements about desirable market properties. If a conjecture is disproven, the system will generate a counterexample illustrating a specific weakness, which will then be used to refine the conjecture and recommend validated repairs. The program is divided into three Technical Areas (TAs): TA1 (Modeling and Analysis), TA2 (Resiliency and Repair), and TA3 (Test and Evaluation), which will independently validate the work of TA1 and TA2. | IMR@darpa.mil | Myles Collins Zachary Needell Gregory Lemieux Rafael Zamora-Resendiz Holger Mueller Minliang Yang Pengcheng Xie Doru Adrian Thom Popovici Stefan M.

The program's central technical approach involves creating low-dimensional, physics-based 'signatures' of PPIs by parameterizing their 'diffusive binding landscape' to dramatically reduce computational complexity. The ultimate goal is to generate a 'hypercatalog' of over 10 million unique, context-aware PPIs. The utility of this capability will be demonstrated through its application to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), with the objective of identifying novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets. The 30-month program is structured in two phases: Phase 1 (12 months) will focus on developing the initial capability and creating a TBI-focused interactome of approximately 100,000 PPIs. Phase 2 (18 months) will scale this effort to achieve the 10 million PPI hypercatalog, enhance prediction accuracy for various interaction parameters (e.g., binding energy, residence time), and model diverse interaction types from dimers to biocondensates across numerous cellular contexts. Performer models will be validated against government-provided experimental data. | Dr. Abhishek Singharoy | Michael Mahoney James Demmel Susan Marqusee Maciej Haranczyk Christopher Petzold Steven Brenner Banumathi Sankaran Michal Hammel Jamie Inman Nikos Kyrpides Ehud Isacoff Kevin Fan Lisa Claus Ishan Srivastava Karthik Shekhar James Fraser Angelos Ioannou Jian-Hua Mao Piotr Zarzycki Ahmad Omar Cees De Laat Sharon Greenblum Talita Perciano Costa Leite Dorothee Liebschner Corie Ralston Hector Garcia Martin Georgios Pavlopoulos Kevin G Knauss Zhong Wang Mohammad Kaazem Pur Mofrad Jennifer Rosenbluth Zhe Bai Oleg Sobolev Devarshi Ghoshal Yizhi Shen Deepika Awasthi Andy DeGiovanni Horst Simon Oscar Antepara | Physics-Based In-Silico Modeling of Protein Interactions | Large-Scale Interactome Mapping and Hypercatalog Generation | Dynamic and Context-Aware PPI Modeling | Application to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Diagnostics and Therapeutics |

The program aims to overcome the limitations of current testing methods by creating a system that can simulate decades of environmental degradation in a matter of weeks. The core of the program involves the co-development of two components: 1) a portable 'Material Accelerator' platform capable of subjecting concrete coupons to coupled, synergistic stressors (mechanical, chemical, thermal) to achieve over 1,000x acceleration of aging, and 2) a physics-informed, multi-scale 'Scalability Model' to translate the accelerated, micro-scale coupon data into accurate predictions of long-term, macro-scale structural performance. The program is structured into a 12-month base phase targeting >100x acceleration and a 12-month option phase targeting >1,000x acceleration, with a total award value of up to $2,000,000 per performer. A key requirement is for performers to contribute historical concrete degradation data to a government-aggregated federated database that will serve as a shared baseline for model validation across the program. | Resilient@darpa.mil | Philip Mallon Michael Mahoney Neil Razdan Pramod Bhuvankar Gregory Lemieux Dan Gunter Jeremy Smith Didier Perrodin Peter Tennessen Qin Yu Piotr Zarzycki Nobumichi Tamura Kristin Persson Tarek Zohdi Aditi Krishnapriyan Anna Giannakou Yuanran Zhu Yingqi Zhang Yuan Mei Zhe Bai Francesco Ricci Jiannan Wang Victor Negut Devarshi Ghoshal Suncica Canic Andy Nonaka Niklas Mundhenk | Physics-Informed Multi-Scale Predictive Modeling | Accelerated Environmental and Mechanical Stress Testing |

It bridges the gap between high-fidelity atomic-scale physics and engineering-scale continuum models by using graph neural networks trained on proprietary methods (SPTC-AI for thermal and SPEC-AI for electronic conductivity). SCACS decomposes a material's conductivity into per-atom contributions, allowing it to predict spatially varying and direction-dependent heat and electricity flow across large, million-atom systems. This enables engineers to identify potential failure points like hot-spots and accurately model the impact of microstructural defects. The platform significantly reduces simulation times from days to minutes and integrates with standard finite element solvers, providing a physics-grounded tool for industries such as semiconductors, fusion energy, and aerospace to improve product reliability and shorten development cycles. | licensing@lanl.gov | Michael Mahoney Aurelie Champagne Ehud Altman Chris Dames Gregory Lemieux Per-Olof Persson Jeremy Smith Zahid Hussain Lisa Claus Ishan Srivastava Angelos Ioannou Daniel Murnane Hans Wenk Piotr Zarzycki Ahmad Omar Nobumichi Tamura Kunhwi Kim Talita Perciano Costa Leite Kristin Persson Jean Sexton Tarek Zohdi Michael Pettes Bingqing Cheng Yuanran Zhu Anna Giannakou Ann Almgren Costin Iancu Ben Erichson Francesco Ricci Nirmalendu Patra Koushik Sen Zhi Jackie Yao | AI-Accelerated Multiscale Materials Modeling | Spatially-Resolved Thermal and Electrical Transport Physics | Integration with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Workflows |

The goal is to move beyond permanent genomic modifications (like CRISPR) to achieve transient, tunable, and reversible control directly at the protein level. The 42-month, multi-phase program requires performers to integrate three core technologies: 1) AI-driven Programmable Targeting to bind virtually any protein, 2) Generalizable Chemistry (e.g., engineered inteins, co-translational editing) for universal modification, and 3) Multiplexing Capability for simultaneous, non-interfering edits. The program will progress from foundational validation in cell culture (Phase 1A), to a capability demonstration on DARPA-selected targets (Phase 1B), and finally to integration and validation in complex systems like organoids (Phase 2). The ultimate deliverable is a prototype platform that can execute on-demand, multi-site functional edits on proteins in complex biological models, meeting specific metrics for efficiency, reusability, and complexity. The solicitation explicitly excludes approaches based on permanent genomic editing, traditional pharmacology, and in silico modeling without experimental validation. | PENG@darpa.mil | Susan Marqusee Maciej Haranczyk Christopher Petzold Banumathi Sankaran Jamie Inman John Conboy William Riehl Markus de Raad Jay Keasling Michal Kosicki Angelos Ioannou Carlos Bustamante Carolyn Larabell Daniel Minor Billy Poon Paul Adams Satyarth Praveen Talita Perciano Costa Leite Dorothee Liebschner David Carruthers Corie Ralston Aris Polyzos Sunita Ho Mohammad Kaazem Pur Mofrad Miaw-Sheue Tsai Jennifer Rosenbluth John Dueber John Hartwig Robert Haushalter Adam Deutschbauer Oleg Sobolev Natalia Molchanova Line Kristensen Hans Carlson Mauro Del Ben | Programmable Targeting and Binder Design | Generalizable Protein Editing Chemistry | Multiplexed Control and Systems Integration |

It repurposes the reactor's heat pipes into active fire defense components. Upon detecting fire-like conditions via sensors, a controller initiates a rapid, multi-stage response that includes injecting suppressant into the heat pipes, evacuating the alkali metal working fluid, and releasing suppressant into a surrounding inert gas chamber. Key technical features include redundant suppressant injection points, a phase change material jacket that doubles as a fire retardant, and an optional mechanism to disperse a neutron absorber into the reactor core to aid shutdown. The system's purpose is to provide a layered, automated safeguard against one of the most challenging hazards in advanced microreactors, enabling safer operation in remote, unattended, and space-constrained deployments without requiring major redesigns for external suppression equipment. | licensing@lanl.gov | Dre Helmns Eric Anderssen Pramod Bhuvankar Chris Dames Sang woo Ham Peter Hosemann Bin Wang Johannes Mahl Ravi Prasher Najm Us Saqib Giorgio Vallone Bethany Goldblum Alexander Pattison Abhi Rajagopala Kameshwar Poolla Oluwamayowa Amusat Zhi Yao Hannah Parrilla Duncan Callaway Li Wang Lee Bernstein Peter Therkelsen Jennifer Pore Scott Moura Yuan Mei Aaron Lattanzi Sumanjeet Kaur M Shamsuzzoha Basunia Thomas Schutzius Katherine Ray Michael Frenklach Diego Arbelaez Volker Koch Andrew Dopilka Randy Louie | Automated Safety and Control Systems | Integrated Thermal-Fluidic Design | Nuclear Reactor Core Safety and Shutdown |

The first service involves conducting predicted occupant kinematics modeling and analysis using MADYMO software to support personnel injury assessments for the COLUMBIA and VIRGINIA Block V Class submarines. This task requires analyzing government-provided time histories to define occupant kinematics and blunt impact injury risk, culminating in a technical white paper. The second service is to develop survivability risk curves for upper extremity fractures during flail events. This will be achieved by conducting three-point bending tests on twelve fresh-frozen cadaveric forearms to simulate impact into a rigid structure, with deliverables including a white paper, sensor data, and high-speed video. This research aims to fill a gap in arm injury criteria, supporting future SSNX assessments. | Arnel Ngo | Phillip Messersmith Boris Faybishenko Zachary Needell Jing Ke Costas P.
