The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is issuing an Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) Opportunity, inviting submissions of innovative basic or applied research concepts in the technical domain of automated knowledge discovery, curation, and application. This AIE Opportunity is being issued under the Program Announcement for AIE, DARPA-PA-18-02. All proposals in response to the Automating Scientific Knowledge Extraction (ASKE) opportunity, as described herein, will be submitted to DARPA-PA-18-02-01. If selected, it will result in an award of an Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype agreement that will not exceed $1,000,000.

NineSigma, representing a global chemical company, seeks a partner to develop and/or produce thermosetting polymer with ultra-low dielectric loss. Anticipated respondents are not only contract manufacturers of the target polymer but also any kinds of organizations capable of developing the target polymer toward mass-production.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications proposing research on the development of novel and optimized alternatives to existing in vivo genome editing complexes.

This RFP solicitation is issued for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) to contract with a vendor to provide a complete Electronic Health Record (EHR) application that will cover all of ODRC's clients.

The primary objectives of the STATEMAP component of the NCGMP are to establish the geologic framework of areas determined to be vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States. The State Geologist shall determine mapping priorities in consultation with a multi-representational State Mapping Advisory Committee. These priorities shall be based on: a) state requirements for geologic-map information in areas of multiple-issue need or areas of compelling single-issue need, and b) State requirements for geologic-map information in areas where mapping is required to solve critical earth-science problems.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications to support screening of target-based pharmaceutical libraries to identify candidate therapeutics against select eukaryotic pathogens and subsequent preclinical development activities.

The PRMRP Focused Program Award mechanism is intended to optimize research and accelerate the solution for a critical question related to at least one of the Congressionally directed FY17 PRMRP Topic Areas through a synergistic, multidisciplinary research program. The anticipated total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY17 PRMRP Focused Program Award will not exceed $10M.

The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award is intended to identify the most talented Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) who intend to make a long-term commitment to research in the Environmental Health Sciences and assist them in launching an innovative research program focused on the understanding of environmental exposure effects on peoples health.

The Structurally Integrated Safe Advanced Battery Development program seeks possible solutions to the design, development, and demonstration of a structurally integrated battery into the body, chassis, or wing of a small unmanned aerial system (SUAS).

NineSigma, representing a Global Consumer Coatings Company, invites proposals for materials and approaches that result in self-stratifying layers within a water-based liquid coating formulation. The client is interested in any approach that results in self-stratification of components, regardless of technical maturity. The proposed mechanism must ultimately be applicable to architectural coatings.

NineSigma, representing a global electric motor manufacturer, invites proposals for a durable, high-temperature non-conductive coating for steel. In the manufacture of electric motors, NineSigma's client makes a rotor that consists of a stack of thin, die-stamped steel sheets with a die-cast aluminum squirrel cage.  It is important that the steel be electrically isolated from the aluminum.  NineSigma's client needs a durable non-conductive coating to apply to the steel assembly prior to die-casting the aluminum.  The coating must withstand temperatures associated with the die-casting process and with subsequent thermal cycling.

NineSigma, representing a global manufacturer, seeks technologies or ideas that can simplify a system of bearingless motor, for cost reduction. Proposals related to the components such as bearingless motor itself, thrust bearing, and control of the system are widely welcome. (Concept-level proposals are also welcome.)

NineSigma, representing a global machinery manufacturer, seeks technologies of thermal insulation coating on annular metallic parts. Technologies that are, in principle, excellent in thermal properties and workability are welcomed, even if they are yet far from commercialization.

NineSigma, representing a major engineering company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, seeks potential partners to develop a high-accuracy, low-cost, contactless electric meter to measure current and/or voltage. We widely welcome proposals with whichever commercialized technology or elemental technology such as electric elements, if the requirements can be potentially met through additional development.

NineSigma, representing a multibillion-dollar food manufacturer, seeks a technology to continuously remove ethanol produced as a byproduct in fermentation liquid. While the client intends to apply the technology to the fermentation process, it also welcomes proposals based on a technology that was originally developed for other purposes and requires additional development for this project as well as those for a technology that has already been applied for fermentation process.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards senior individual research training fellowships to experienced scientists who wish to make major changes in the direction of their research careers or who wish to broaden their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities as independent investigators in research fields relevant to the missions of participating NIH Institutes and Centers. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial, but does allow applicants to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.

The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking participants for a pilot program designed to utilize modern connectivity to rapidly develop promising basic research pathways and then efficiently develop basic research proposals. DSO's intent is to fund some of the research proposals resulting from this pilot program. As with other recent DARPA/DSO opportunity announcements, the intent of this program is to deliver research proposals that seek to investigate innovative approaches to enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
