Scientific Visualization & User Interface Prototyping

The contract seeks the development of interactive visualizations and web-based dashboards designed to explore complex pathogen-host interaction networks, enabling researchers and stakeholders to better understand, analyze, and communicate biological relationships through intuitive digital interfaces. The work will focus on prototyping user-friendly interfaces that transform high-dimensional biological data into accessible, dynamic visual formats, supporting decision-making and collaboration across scientific and operational teams. This effort is aligned with advancing biodefense capabilities through improved data interpretation and visualization tools. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under the SBA’s SBIR/STTR mandate, restricted to organizations with fewer than 500 employees, and falls under NAICS code 541840 for scientific and technical consulting services. The solicitation was posted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the U.S. Department of Defense, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026. The performance location and point of contact details are not specified, but the work is expected to support critical defense-related biological research initiatives. Interested parties must engage through the official DOD SBIR/STTR portal linked in the posting to submit proposals.
