- Description
- Special Notice (SN) DARPA-SN-17-25 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is sponsoring a Proposers Day to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the RadioBio program. The Proposers Day will be held via pre-recorded webcast on February 21, 2017 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. Advance registration is required for viewing the Proposers Day webcast. Note, all times listed in this announcement and on the registration website are Eastern Time. Following the Proposers Day, presented materials will be posted to the DARPA/DSO Opportunities website. The goals of the RadioBio Proposers Day are to: (a) introduce the research community (Proposers, Academia, and Government) to the RadioBio program vision and goals; (b) explain the mechanics of a typical DARPA program and outline the milestones of this particular effort, and (c) encourage and promote teaming arrangements among potential proposers that have the relevant expertise, facilities, and capabilities for executing a research and development program responsive to the RadioBio program goals. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION The RadioBio program aims to definitively establish whether purposeful signaling via electromagnetic waves between biological systems exists and, if it does, determine the mechanisms involved and the information being transferred. If electromagnetic communications between bio-systems exist, then systematic study of the phenomenon may reveal new knowledge. The program will determine the validity of electromagnetic biosignaling claims and, where evidence exists, learn how the structure and function of these natural "antennae" are capable of generating and receiving information in a noisy background. New applications and capabilities in biology may result from this program, in addition to potential new strategies for dealing with communications in a cluttered electromagnetic environment. See DARPA-SN-17-25.
