The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of neurobehavioral protective factors and wellbeing to prevent and mitigate the effects of traumatic stress leading to suicidality and behavioral health disorders in warfighters. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice is specifically excluded.

All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. See the Eligibility Information section of the BAA for more information.
