This grant, offered by the Department of Defense through DARPA, aims to develop novel capabilities for controlling biological systems using biological controllers. It seeks to apply control theory to design generalizable biological control strategies, analogous to conventional control engineering, across various scales. The program will focus on designing biological controllers, creating testbeds, and developing theories and models to predict effective control strategies. Successful projects will demonstrate practical biological solutions for applications relevant to the Department of Defense.

| Description: | The objective of the DARPA Biological Control program is to build new capabilities for the control of biological systems across scales — from nanometers to centimeters, seconds to weeks, and biomolecules to populations of organisms — using embedded controllers made of biological parts to program system-level behavior. This program will apply and advance existing control theory to design and implement generalizable biological control strategies analogous to conventional control engineering, for example, for mechanical and electrical systems. The resulting advances in fundamental understanding and capabilities will create new opportunities for engineering biology. Specifically, the Biological Control program will demonstrate tools to rationally design and |
