Information Innovation Office–Office‐wide (DOD).

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is accepting applications for the Information Innovation Office (I2O) Office-wide announcement. The announcement is seeking revolutionary research ideas that are not currently being addressed by ongoing I2O programs or other published solicitations. The deadline for abstracts is September 27, 2024, and proposals must be submitted by October 29, 2024. Multiple awards are expected, and eligibility is unrestricted. The key thrust areas for research include proficient artificial intelligence, advantage in cyber operations, resilient, adaptable, and secure systems, and confidence in the information domain. DARPA may also consider submissions outside of these areas if they involve the development of novel capabilities that promise to provide decisive information advantage for the United States and its allies. The agency is particularly interested in unconventional computational approaches that challenge accepted assumptions and have the potential to radically change established practices and the state of the art.
