This Somnus grant is for the purpose of investigating how the gut microbiome interacts with the host and influences the restorative effects of sleep on cognitive performance. DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office (BTO) seeks to rapidly initiate new investments in this critical area. The research will concentrate on identifying specific molecules and underlying mechanisms involved in these host-microbiome interactions. The ultimate goal is to enhance understanding of sleep’s impact on brain function, leveraging insights from microbiome science. This Research Announcement represents a targeted and limited-scope investment, designed for quick initiation of innovative studies to advance biological technologies.
