DOD Opportunities and Related Resources to Put Together Proposals​

Resources related to the U.S. Department of  Defense (DOD) agency, including Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), are available below. The TAMUS Research Development Office can develop resources on demand for any DOD opportunity. Please reach out to our office (researchdevelopment@tamus.edu) for additional requests.

DARPA INTACT

Intrinsically Tough and Affordable Ceramics Today (INTACT) explores new approaches to produce tough monolithic ceramic materials. In contrast to fiber reinforcement strategies employed in ceramic matrix composites, INTACT is focused on atomic-scale toughening mechanisms that afford ceramics with the ductile characteristics of metallic systems.

DOD TERP CTA

The Toxic Exposures Research Program – Clinical Trial Award (TERP CTA) supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the prevention, treatment or management of symptoms, diseases, or conditions associated with or resulting from military-related toxic exposures. 

DARPA YFA

The Young Faculty Award (YFA) program aims to identify and engage rising stars in junior research positions in academia and equivalent positions at non-profit research institutions, particularly those without prior DARPA funding, to expose them to DoD needs and DARPA’s mission to create and prevent technological surprise for national security.
