Full Description

Show more

The National Institutes of Health intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications that propose feasibility studies that could inform the design and conduct of subsequent definitive clinical trials (e.g., efficacy, effectiveness, pragmatic, dissemination and implementation, phase/stage II or later trials). Applications to this NOFO should demonstrate that the proposed feasibility research is scientifically necessary to design or plan the subsequent definitive clinical trial. Studies may utilize mixed methods and feasibility clinical trials to assess feasibility of recruitment, randomization, retention, intervention delivery, data collection, adherence, acceptability, and/or develop or adapt intervention components or protocols. The proposed feasibility research should enhance the rigor and reproducibility of the future trial methods. The subsequent definitive clinical trial should have the potential to make a significant impact on public health.

Applications are not being solicited at this time. This notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Investigators with expertise in clinical trial planning, design, implementation, intervention development, and/or stakeholder engagement are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.

Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT)
Solicitation # FA2377-26-R-B011
The Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT) program, solicitation FA2377-26-R-B011, is a Department of Defense initiative managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop pre-emptive and reactive countermeasure solutions in the electro-optical spectrum, specifically covering UV, visible, and infrared bands. The program is designed to protect U.S. and allied aircraft and aircrew in contested environments through the development of directed energy, expendable, and other novel developmental concepts. The effort is divided into two primary technical areas: Hardware and Executable Analysis of Threats (HEAT), which focuses on exploiting foreign EO-guided threats to create high-fidelity modeling inputs, and Advanced Countermeasure Engineering (ACE), which provides scientific and engineering support for threat characterization, digital threat modeling, and laboratory and open-air testing. This is a one-step solicitation under the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announced program with an estimated total call value of 74,633,000 dollars. The government intends to award Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contracts, utilizing an indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) structure. Performance will take place at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. Award selection is based on a Peer or Scientific Review, evaluating the offeror's technical understanding, approach, potential to advance the state of the art, and the realism of proposed costs. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, the Statement of Objectives is designated as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), requiring a certified DD Form 2345 for access, and contractors must meet CMMC Level 2 (Self) or higher requirements prior to award.

Selective Harnessing of Intrinsic Neuroplasticity Engineering (SHINE)
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07-06
The Selective Harnessing of Intrinsic Neuroplasticity Engineering (SHINE) program, issued by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office under solicitation DARPA-PA-25-07-06, seeks innovative basic and applied research to selectively induce adaptive neuroplasticity within specific brain cell-types, regions, or circuits. This 18-month effort is divided into two tracks: Track A focuses on translationally mature technologies aimed at imminent clinical trials, requiring a therapeutic index of 5 or greater and the use of quantitative biomarkers such as fMRI or PET. Track B targets foundational, high-risk concepts ready for animal testing, requiring a spatial containment threshold exceeding 90 percent. All awards will be executed as Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Agreements with a maximum value of 2,000,000 dollars per award, including any performer cost share. The program follows a synchronized timeline starting in January 2027, featuring a critical evaluation point at month 9 to assess progress through technical data and site visit demonstrations. Proposers must adhere to strict cybersecurity requirements, including a current CMMC status and annual affirmation posted in the Supplier Performance Risk System. Additionally, University Affiliated Research Centers acting as primes or subawardees must provide an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan, and FFRDCs must certify that their proposed work is unavailable from the private sector. Proposals must be submitted as zip files via the DARPA BAA T Portal by October 9, 2026, utilizing the required Task Description Document templates and the Streamlined Cost Buildup Workbook.

The program is structured in two 12-month phases with a total award value limited to 2,000,000 dollars, split equally between the Phase 1 base and Phase 2 option periods. Awards will be executed as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements and are subject to 13 fixed payable milestones. Performance is evaluated based on the ability to accurately predict the actual time and mode of failure using federated datasets. Proposers must adhere to strict cybersecurity requirements, including CMMC status in the Supplier Performance Risk System and a current annual CMMC affirmation. Submissions must be uploaded as a single zip file via the DARPA BAA Portal by the October 19, 2026 deadline. Technical proposals must include a data and sourcing narrative and a signed data sharing agreement, while price proposals must utilize the provided streamlined cost buildup workbook. University Affiliated Research Centers acting as performers must provide an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan.
