Spin-COntrolled chemical Process Engineering (SCOPE)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is issuing a Disruption Opportunity (DO), inviting submissions of innovative basic or applied research concepts in the technical domain of electron spin as a control variable for (1) direct synthesis of fine chemicals and (2) separation of chiral product. This DO is issued under the Program Announcement for Disruptioneering, DARPA-PA-22-01. All awards will be made in the form of an Other Transaction (OT) for prototype project. The total award value for the combined Phase 1 base (Feasibility Study) and Phase 2 option (Proof of Concept) is limited to $1,000,000. This total award value includes Government funding and performer cost share, if required or if proposed.
