Established in 1958 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense, DARPA pursues opportunities for transformational change rather than incremental advances. It does so collaboratively as part of a robust innovation ecosystem that includes academic, corporate, and governmental partners. To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers from throughout this ecosystem to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current and predicted practical problems through applied research.

Open SBIR/STTR Solicitations

Solicitations play an important role in making the general public aware of funding opportunities

Solicitations play an important role in making the general public aware of funding opportunities available to the small businesses of the nation. Participating Federal Agencies post these funding opportunities on a regular periodic basis throughout the year associated to SBIR/STTR.

Project Praxium: Classroom of the Future (AE)

The Air University Innovation Accelerator (AUiX) Office, through its Partnership Intermediary

The Air University Innovation Accelerator (AUiX) Office, through its Partnership Intermediary Agreement with MGMWERX, is seeking potential offeror submissions to survey, design, build, and install a classroom of the future!

Air University (AUiX), in collaboration with MGMWERX, seeks to pilot a collaborative and immersive learning environment at MGMWERX, Montgomery, AL, for use by Air University, the local public school system, and local colleges and universities – Project Praxium: Classroom of the Future (PPCotF). This initiative produces a model 21st century classroom as a prototype that may be implemented nation-wide between Air Force installations and their partner local communities based on the teaching and learning needs of the different schools. For Air University and its host city and partners, this initiative offers many opportunities in the areas of:

Leveraging stakeholder diversity towards capturing holistic learning requirements
Offering novel and relevant ways of learning through collaboration
Utilization and demonstration of new learning technologies and methods
Demonstrating multi-faceted and immersive collaborative learning environment methods (e.g., AR/VR, simulators, modeling & simulation, etc.)
