This department, DARPA, is offering this grant to convene a Computer Science Study Group (CSSG) to solicit innovative research proposals. This grant is for the purpose of identifying and funding groundbreaking ideas in computer science that promise revolutionary advancements, rather than merely incremental improvements, for the Department of Defense (DoD). Participants are encouraged to align their research interests with pressing DoD challenges in computer science, exploring synergies to develop novel concepts and applications. The CSSG’s objective is to rapidly pinpoint transformative ideas that will lead to fundamental breakthroughs in science, devices, or systems, ultimately contributing significantly to national security and a new state of practice.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | An eligible participant must be a junior faculty member at a U.S. Institution of Higher Education. Participants should be no more than seven years beyond receiving a doctoral degree, pretenure junior faculty, with demonstrated exceptional potential for world‐class contributions to the field of computer science. Each participant shall have intense research interest in a computer science topic of relevance to DoD and demonstrate novel ideas that lead to fundamental advances rather than incremental work in the field. DARPA is particularly interested in identifying outstanding researchers who have previously not been performers on DARPA programs, though the program is open to all qualified applicants with innovative research ideas. Multiple participants may apply from any institution. An applicant is limited to a maximum of three (3) applications to the DARPA CSSG program during their term of eligibility. A participant must be a US citizen and eligible to receive a U.S. SECRET security clearance. |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | DARPA – Transformational Convergence Technology |
| Description: | DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the broad area of computer science. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. This RA is to solicit interested participants to join the Computer Science Study Group (CSSG). The objective of the CSSG is to rapidly identify ideas in the field of computer science that will provide revolutionary advances, rather than incremental benefit, to the Department of Defense (DoD). Participants in this 2011 CSSG will be encouraged to consider their research interests in light of DoD challenges in the field of computer science, and then to further explore the synergies in their research programs to develop novel ideas and applications that will lead to fundamental advances in the field rather than incremental change. |
