DARPA is offering this grant to solicit innovative research proposals focused on quantum effects within biological environments. The primary objective is to unequivocally establish the presence of manifest quantum phenomena in living systems. Furthermore, successful proposals will demonstrate, via simulation and proof-of-concept experiments, the feasibility of developing biomimetic sensors that actively leverage these discovered quantum effects. This grant aims to push the boundaries of understanding how quantum mechanics intersects with biology, paving the way for novel sensor technologies inspired by nature. Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that address both the fundamental verification of quantum biological effects and their practical application in sensor development.

| Description: | DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of quantum effects in a biological environment. Proposed research should establish beyond any doubt that manifestly quantum effects occur in biology, and demonstrate through simulation proof-of concept experiments that devices that exploit these effects could be developed into biomimetic sensors.
