This grant aims to expose elite early-career researchers to Department of Defense (DoD) needs and DARPA’s mission to create and prevent technological surprise. The purpose of this grant is to provide high-impact funding to these researchers, enabling them to develop innovative research that contributes to transformative DoD capabilities.
