Protein Palace Proposers Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is initiating the Protein Palace program to develop a universal, tunable protein purification platform. This initiative aims to replace the traditional lock-and-key paradigm with a system capable of purifying multiple proteins from a single system by leveraging unique physicochemical characteristics to improve specificity, generalizability, and scalability in biomanufacturing. The program is structured into two distinct phases: a 24-month Phase 1 focused on proving feasibility and specificity by separating eight different proteins, followed by an 18-month Phase 2 focused on increasing throughput and volume, demonstrated on two additional proteins that are difficult to purify using current state-of-the-art methods. To support this effort, DARPA is hosting an in-person Proposers Day on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. Interested parties must register by November 9, 2026, and provide government-issued photo identification for entry. While the current Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-01 is for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation, DARPA anticipates releasing the full solicitation on sam.gov prior to the event. The Proposers Day will be held at the unclassified level, and any presented materials must be suitable for unlimited public release.

Solid-State Energy Conversion from Heat to Electricity Request for Information (RFI)
Solicitation # DARPA-SS-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is issuing Request for Information (RFI) DARPA-SS-27-01 to explore the current state of the art and technological limitations of solid-state direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion. This initiative focuses on systems that convert temperature differentials into electrical energy without the use of mechanical moving parts, such as turbines or pistons. The primary objective is to gather quantitative data on performance across various operating temperatures, identify limiting factors, and determine the most viable use cases to inform the planning of future research and development programs. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must submit unclassified responses by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on November 23, 2026, via email to DARPA-SS-27-01@darpa.mil. Submissions must adhere to specific formatting guidelines, including a 12-point font and a structured layout consisting of a cover sheet, a five-page technical description, a two-page bibliography, and a one-page summary of prior research. Respondents are encouraged to include technical models, test data, and the current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of their technologies, while ensuring any proprietary information is clearly labeled.

Cattle Run Proposers Day Announcement
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-03
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting a Proposers Day for the Cattle Run program on November 10, 2026, at the DARPA Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event serves as an informational forum to discuss the development of autonomous spacecraft utilizing solar sails or other renewable propulsion systems to enable cost-effective cislunar constellations. The program is structured in phases, beginning with the rapid development and launch of a demonstrator spacecraft below geosynchronous earth orbit to validate acceleration, vehicle control, and autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), followed by the deployment of multiple spacecraft for cislunar operations. Registration for the event must be completed by November 4, 2026. Attendance is strictly limited to U.S. Citizens, who must submit a U.S. Citizenship Verification form (DARPA eForm 104). Additionally, all attendees and potential proposers must meet CMMC Level 2 requirements, incorporating the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information, with verification performed via the Supplier Performance Risk System. While this notice provides critical program details and networking opportunities, including one-on-one sessions with Program Manager Steven Chambers, it does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals.

Young Faculty Award (YFA) 2027
Solicitation # DARPARA2701
The Young Faculty Award (YFA) 2027, solicitation DARPARA2701, is a competitive funding opportunity managed by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office to engage junior researchers at U.S. academic or non-profit research institutions. The program targets rising stars—specifically those in tenure-track positions, recently tenured faculty, or equivalent roles within twelve years of their doctorate—who have not previously received significant funding from DARPA or the Department of War. The goal is to foster a new generation of researchers capable of developing innovative, unclassified basic research that enables transformative national security capabilities. Funding is structured with a 24-month base period of up to 500,000 dollars, with a total potential award value of 1,225,000 dollars including a 12-month Director's Fellowship option and a concurrent U.S. citizen graduate student option of up to 225,000 dollars. Proposals are evaluated primarily on overall scientific and technical merit, focusing on innovation, feasibility, risk management, and the expertise of the technical team. Applicants must follow a strict submission process, beginning with an executive summary due November 5, 2026, followed by full proposals due January 13, 2027. Submissions must utilize mandatory templates for technical, management, and administrative volumes, including specific disclosures regarding organizational conflicts of interest and U.S. citizenship for graduate students.
