The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is offering the Memex Research Grant to advance content indexing and web search on the Internet. This grant aims to revolutionize science, devices, or systems by developing domain-specific indexing and search capabilities. Proposals should focus on creating a new search paradigm that allows quick and thorough organization of Internet content. The Memex program seeks to overcome the limitations of centralized search and provide efficient access to domain-specific information. Applicants should refer to the attached ‘DARPA-BAA-14-21’ PDF document for more information. Deadline for proposal submission is April 8, 2014.

| Description: | The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for innovative research to maintain technological superiority in the area of content indexing and web search on the Internet. Proposed research should investigate 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.
The Memex program envisions a new paradigm, where one can quickly and thoroughly organize a subset of the Internet relevant to ones interests. Memex will address the inherent shortcomings of centralized search by developing technology for domain-specific indexing of web content and domain-specific search capabilities. Memex will develop technology to enable discovery, organization, and presentation of domain relevant content. The new search paradigm will provide fast, flexible, and efficient access to domain-specific content as well as search interfaces that offer valuable insight into a domain that previously remained unexplored. For further details see attached “DARPA-BAA-14-21” PDF document. |
