The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting a Proposers Day for the potential proposer community in support of a planned Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the FSHARP (Fieldable Solutions for Hemorrhage with bio-Artificial Resuscitation Products) Program. The Proposers Day will be held on June 2, 2021 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM virtually. Advance registration is required. Note: all times listed in this announcement and on the registration website are Eastern Time.

The Proposers Day goals include:

1. Introduce the FSHARP program vision and goals to the research community;
2. Explain the mechanics of a DARPA program in general and the objectives and milestones of this program in particular; and
3. Encourage and promote teaming arrangements among organizations that have the relevant expertise, research facilities, and capabilities for executing research and development responsive to the FSHARP program goals.

The Proposers Day will include brief overview presentations by government personnel as well as an information session to respond to questions from participants. Potential performers can highlight their technical capabilities through “lightning” talks such that teaming relationships can be developed. It is expected that FSHARP will require strong teaming efforts to successfully innovate and integrate critical technologies necessary to meet the metrics of the program. Private sidebar meetings with the DARPA team and potential proposer teams can be scheduled beforehand on the registration website.

Attendance at this event is not a requirement for submission of a proposal or selection for funding. Information relayed during the Proposers Day will be made available on the BTO section of the DARPA Opportunities page: http://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/opportunities.

To maximize the pool of innovative proposal concepts, DARPA strongly encourages participation by non-traditional performers (e.g., small businesses, academic and research institutions, and first-time Government contractors).
