The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is offering this grant to explore innovative neuromodulation technologies aimed at enhancing sleep efficiency and cognitive performance in sleep-restricted environments. This grant, under the RESTORE program, is for developing noninvasive, multimodal methods to repair disrupted sleep architectures. The core purpose is to significantly improve cognitive function by addressing sleep deprivation. Proposals should focus on revolutionary advances in sleep mechanisms related to performance psychology, seeking groundbreaking solutions rather than evolutionary improvements to current practices. This initiative supports critical operational readiness.

| Description: | The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals that leverage emerging neuromodulation technologies to enhance sleep efficiency and performance under sleep-restricted conditions. The Reengineering Enabling Sleep Transitions in Operationally Restrictive Environments (RESTORE) program aims to develop multimodal, multitarget, noninvasive neuromodulation methods to repair disrupted sleep architectures caused by sleep restriction, with the ultimate goal of improving cognitive performance. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in the mechanisms of sleep related to performance psychology. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. |
