Autonomous Diagnostics to Enable Prevention and Therapeutics Diagnostics on Demand Limited Resource Settings (ADEPT DxOD LRS) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Autonomous Diagnostics to Enable Prevention and Therapeutics Diagnostics on Demand - Limited Resource Settings (ADEPT DxOD - LRS) opportunity is a DARPA Defense Sciences Office Broad Agency Announcement (BAA 11-39) focused on advancing research and development for rapid, on-site medical diagnostics that can be performed by the user with minimal support. The core idea is to create "critical diagnostics" that work where traditional clinical infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable, meaning settings with limited equipment, limited trained personnel, limited power, and constrained supply chains. DARPA is looking for innovative approaches that make diagnostics more autonomous and practical in the field, enabling timely detection to support prevention and treatment decisions without requiring a conventional laboratory.

This solicitation falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding activity category (CFDA 12.910, Research and Technology Development). The program emphasizes diagnostics "on demand" that are tailored for limited resource settings, which typically implies solutions that are fast, portable, and simple to use while still providing actionable and trustworthy results. Although the brief listing does not spell out specific technical targets, the stated aim suggests technologies that reduce dependence on centralized labs by integrating sample handling, analysis, and readout into systems that can operate in challenging environments. The "self performed" wording also signals a priority on usability and autonomy, such as minimal steps, clear interpretation of results, and reduced need for specialized training.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and indicates multiple possible funding instrument types, including cooperative agreements, grants, other procurement contracts, and other mechanisms. This mix is typical of DARPA BAAs, where the agency may choose the instrument that best fits the proposed work and the level of government involvement anticipated during performance. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means proposers generally are not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full text of the announcement. In practice, that usually means companies, universities, non-profits, research institutions, and other organizations can apply if they can meet the requirements in the BAA. The listing references an additional information link pointing to the DARPA BAA 11-39 solicitation, which would contain the full technical areas, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and any compliance requirements.

The key dates provided show the posting date as March 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 19, 2011, and an archive date of July 19, 2011. The creation date is May 11, 2011. Because the closing date has passed and the opportunity is archived, it is not an active solicitation today, but it remains useful as a reference point for the kinds of diagnostic capabilities DARPA has historically sought for austere or field-deployable environments.

For access issues or questions related to the full announcement, the contact listed is the BAA Coordinator for DARPA BAA 11-39, with a note that assistance is available if the full announcement cannot be accessed electronically.
