Quantum Entanglement Science and Technology (QuEST) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Quantum Entanglement Science and Technology (QuEST) opportunity is a DARPA Microsystems Technology Office Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) focused on research and development in quantum entanglement science and related technologies. It is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it supports efforts that advance fundamental and applied work in this area. The listing is associated with CFDA number 12.910 (Research and Technology Development) and is presented as a discretionary funding opportunity.

A key point about this posting is that it is not a new or changed program announcement in terms of technical scope, eligibility rules, or proposal requirements. It was reposted on Grants.gov strictly for administrative and submission-system reasons, because Grants.gov transitioned from PureEdge forms to Adobe forms. DARPA is directing applicants to submit applications through this reposted version to ensure compatibility with the updated Grants.gov forms. The authoritative content, including the original announcement text and any amendments or modifications, remains tied to the original opportunity number DARPA BAA 08-24, and the repost explicitly states that nothing about the instructions or requirements has been changed by this new listing.

The opportunity allows multiple award and agreement mechanisms, which is typical for DARPA BAAs. The listed funding instrument types include cooperative agreements, grants, “other” arrangements, and procurement contracts, and it also references Other Transaction Agreements. In practical terms, that means DARPA can choose the contracting or assistance vehicle that best fits the proposed work and the intended relationship between the government and the performer, depending on the nature of the research, deliverables, and project risk.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should still read any eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full BAA text. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for this opportunity, so proposers are not required by default to provide matching funds, although the full announcement could still include details about allowable costs, budgeting expectations, or circumstances where voluntary cost share might be considered.

The administrative timeline in this Grants.gov record shows a posted and creation date of January 15, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2009, and an archive date of April 24, 2009. That tells you the window in which proposals were expected, and it also indicates that the listing is historical/archived today, even though the summary information remains useful for understanding the program and how DARPA structured the solicitation.

For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Michael Blackstone, Contracting Officer, at 571-218-4804, and communication is also routed through a BAA email inbox (as referenced in the listing). The most important instruction embedded in the notice is procedural: applications must be submitted through the reposted Adobe-forms version on Grants.gov, while the substantive solicitation details remain in the original DARPA BAA 08-24 announcement and its posted modifications.
