Selective Harnessing of Intrinsic Neuroplasticity Engineering (SHINE)

Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07-06

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Defense Sciences Office is soliciting innovative basic and applied research concepts for the Selective Harnessing of Intrinsic Neuroplasticity Engineering program. This initiative seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of selectively inducing adaptive neuroplasticity within specific brain cell types, regions, or circuits to achieve spatial precision in neural adaptation. The program is divided into two paths: Track A focuses on translationally mature technologies aimed at imminent clinical trials, requiring a therapeutic index of 5 or greater and quantitative clinical 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. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction Prototype Agreements with a maximum value of 2,000,000 dollars per award, including any performer cost share. The program operates on a synchronized 18-month timeline starting in January 2027, with a critical program evaluation point and site visit demonstration scheduled for month nine. Eligible proposers must maintain current CMMC status in the Supplier Performance Risk System and submit unclassified proposals via the DARPA BAA T Portal by October 9, 2026. Special requirements apply to FFRDCs and UARCs, including the necessity of OCI mitigation plans for the latter and specific sponsoring organization certifications for the former.

QBI Topic Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Solicitation # DARPA-PA-26-02-01

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals under the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) through a specific topic called QBIT, focused on providing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) support. This solicitation, identified as DARPA-PA-26-02-01, invites entities with innovative infrastructure, equipment, and expertise to assist DARPA’s QBI program, which aims to rigorously evaluate emerging quantum computing technologies for industrial relevance and accelerated advancement. The effort involves spanning the entire quantum computing stack—from use-case definition and systems engineering to prototype testing and validation—emphasizing fault-tolerant systems and the establishment of credible, reproducible performance assessments. Proposals are first required to submit a five-page abstract following detailed formatting and content guidelines, emphasizing technical expertise, facilities, personnel qualifications, budget, and references, with abstracts due by September 1, 2026. Selected abstract submitters will be invited to submit full proposals by October 15, 2026. Awards will be made through Other Transaction (OT) agreements for research, enabling flexibility outside traditional FAR contract clauses. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical feasibility and execution, scientific validation, and budget realism, using a trade-off approach allowing technical merit to justify costs. Proposers must demonstrate compliance with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling per DoD Instruction 5200.48 and NIST SP 800-171 standards and are expected to deliver outcomes and data with unlimited rights. Special considerations include managing organizational conflicts of interest, publication restrictions requiring DARPA approval, and export control compliance, with performance anticipated primarily at proposer facilities with advanced quantum test environments. This initiative is designed to enhance the QBI program’s testing and evaluation capacity by engaging diverse organizations capable of delivering independent, rigorous verification essential for advancing quantum computing technologies at pace with DARPA’s high-risk, high-reward research mission.
