Emerging infectious disease hotspots are expected to increase globally within the next 50 years.1 Lab-based testing technology has advanced, but agnostic sample preservation still relies on refrigerated transport that can be difficult to acquire and is often unreliable in remote, austere, and contested environments. Consequently, samples critical to force health protection can be significantly degraded upon lab receipt.| www.darpa.mil
The YFA program provides funding, mentoring and industry and national security contacts to awardees early in their careers so they may develop their research ideas in the context of national security needs. The long-term goal of the YFA program is to develop the next generation of academic scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who will focus a significant portion of their career on national security issues.| www.darpa.mil
When quantum is seemingly everywhere and in everything, is it possible to spin true value out of the hype cycle? DARPA is attempting just that — armed with a healthy dose of skepticism, scientific rigor, and industry and academic expertise.| www.darpa.mil
