Data Analytics and Cognitive Modeling

The contract seeks to analyze neurocognitive data to model how engineered sleep parameters influence cognitive outcomes using machine learning, signal processing, and predictive analytics. The work will involve developing computational models that identify patterns and correlations between sleep modifications and measurable cognitive performance metrics, aiming to advance understandings of human performance under manipulated rest conditions. This effort is part of a broader initiative to enhance warfighter readiness through data-driven insights into sleep and cognition. The contract is a small business subcontract under the SBIR/STTR mandate, restricted to entities with fewer than 500 employees, and falls under NAICS code 541620 for scientific research and development services. It is being managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the U.S. Department of Defense, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026. The work is expected to be performed in an undefined location, and the solicitation is posted through the DOD SBIR/STTR portal with no specific point of contact listed publicly.
