DARPA - Defense Sciences Office · HR001126S0015 · Deadline: August 27, 2027
Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 12.910, Research and Technology Development), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.
133 unique recipients in the sample; 66 repeat winners.
range $3k – $84.6M
Draw-down reality (program)
Across 115 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 67% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
