Anamoly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Anamoly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS) opportunity was a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) research solicitation run through the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) under Funding Opportunity Number DARPA BAA 11 04. The program name signals its core technical interest: research and development methods for detecting anomalies, and doing so "at multiple scales," which typically implies detecting unusual patterns not only at one resolution or timeframe, but across different granularities (for example, local versus global behavior, short-term versus long-term trends, or individual-event versus aggregated-pattern indicators). The public listing itself does not provide the technical details of the scope and goals, and instead directs interested parties to the full announcement.

From an administrative standpoint, ADAMS was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity, and DARPA indicated it could award under multiple instrument types depending on the nature of the proposal and the government need. The listed instruments include cooperative agreements, other transactions/procurement-style contracting, and contracts. That mix is common for DARPA Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), where the government may select the most appropriate vehicle for basic or applied research efforts, prototype development, and related R&D activities. The activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the associated CFDA number is 12.910, which aligns with Department of Defense research and technology development assistance.

The timeline for the opportunity is clear in the summary data. The posting date and creation date were both October 25, 2010. The original closing date was April 8, 2011, and the current closing date remained April 8, 2011, indicating the solicitation did not extend past its initial deadline. The archive date was May 8, 2011, meaning that after that point it was no longer active for new submissions under that posting.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional limitations that might have been included in the full text of the announcement (the listing specifically notes that clarifications, if any, would be found in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section of the full announcement). In practical terms, unrestricted eligibility in DARPA BAAs often means companies (including small businesses), universities, nonprofit research organizations, and other capable performers may apply, although the exact rules around teaming, foreign participation, security requirements, and export-controlled technologies are usually spelled out in the full solicitation.

No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants were not required by the summary record to provide a formal cost-share as a condition of award. That said, cost realism and the appropriateness of the proposed budget are typically evaluated in DARPA selections, and the complete announcement generally explains how budgets will be reviewed and what costs are allowable under the selected award instrument.

For applicants trying to find the full requirements, the listing points to an additional information link described as the DARPA BAA 11 04 posting on FedBizOpps, which was the government-wide portal used at the time for these announcements. The synopsis also provides a point of contact for access issues: Dr. Rand Waltzman, Program Manager at DARPA, along with the I2O BAA Coordinator. In other words, the public grant record functions mainly as an index entry: it identifies the program title and managing office, provides the key dates and administrative categories, and directs researchers to the full announcement where the technical area descriptions, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and any security or compliance requirements would be specified.
