Calling #datascience #AI #robotics enthusiasts! We just announced awards to 8 teams. Self-funded teams can register until Nov 27. Only self-funded teams are eligible for prize $ years 1 & 2.
triagechallenge.darpa.mil/ for info. Questions welcome at [email protected]
DARPA is seeking self-funded teams to participate in the DARPA Triage Challenge, a series of events to spur the development of novel physiological features for medical triage. Deadline is Nov 27! darpa.mil/news-events/2023-1…

I was surprised an anthology of ARPA programs - successes, misses, lessons - did not exist. Follow along and feel free to suggest past programs worth studying.
First bit of the ARPA Playbook is out!
The project's first step is producing FreakTakes-style posts on dozens of DARPA projects from history -- good and bad
The coming week's pieces cover DARPA's ~1980s work on parallel computing, vision, & chip research

Do you want to learn how to design and manage an ambitious research program that is not a good fit for a company – but too big for a single academic research lab? Sign up for the BRAINS program! Congrats to Ben Reinhardt and Joshua Elliott for launching! spec.tech/brains
DARPA partnering with @UMBaltimore @umms @PittTweet @UPMC to provide de-identified trauma data for DARPA Triage Challenge! Join DTC, get access to this unique data, compete with #AI models for $7M in prizes. Kickoff Nov 6. Register, join DTC, learn more: triagechallenge.darpa.mil/
We selected teams for our RITMO effort. Data collected will support the DARPA Triage Challenge program to identify novel physiological signatures that could enhance triage decision-making in austere, complex, and mass-casualty settings. darpa.mil/news-events/2023-1…
Fantastic choice
Paul Friedrichs is going to be the inaugural director of the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response
People who know me know -- I am genuinely thrilled
Paul is awesome
Let me explain a bit why

Great interview with the amazing @KumarAGarg - a force for good!
“There’s a lot more in the world that is fixable, changeable, shapeable than people realize.”
Schmidt Futures VP of Partnerships, @KumarAGarg, shares his optimism towards solving hard problems.

Important editorial in Nature on the importance of open data for AI for Science. What is your "dream data set" that should exist but doesn't, and why? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Well-researched case by @armydoc & colleagues. "In short, technology development should be weighted toward the enhancement of TCCC capabilities, rather than the provision of ICU care on the battlefield." But read the whole thing.
The perils of prolonged casualty care for conventional forces...
Read it. All of it. Then I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this.

Hey, that's me! Come hear more about @CDMRP Spinal Cord Injury Research Program #SCIRP
We anticipate releasing new funding opportunities very soon so this is a great opportunity to learn and ask questions if you are thinking of applying!
Join us and Dr. Melissa Miller on April 12, 2023 @ 3pm ET for a special webinar on Tips and Tricks for SCIRP Program Grant Applications.

I enjoyed talking with Ira Pastor @irat1onal on @progresspotent1 about some of our biomedical programs to save lives on and off the battlefield, including the new DARPA Triage Challenge triagechallenge.darpa.mil/
DARPA BTO program manager CDR Jean-Paul Chretien was interviewed this week on the Progress, Potential, and Possibilities podcast. Listen in and learn about how regeneration, resuscitation and biothreat countermeasures feature in his portfolio. youtube.com/watch?v=Eiw1j-rs…

A $46.4 million @DARPA study to develop and test shelf stable artificial blood is being led by @UMmedschool Prof/@KaloCyte co-founder Allan Doctor in collaboration with @UMSOP and more than a dozen universities and biotech companies. umaryland.edu/news/archived-… #MedicalResearch

I am so excited for this incredible team of innovators! 🥳 This DARPA program aims to develop a field-deployable, shelf-stable whole blood 🩸 equivalent that can be used to resuscitate trauma patients (p.s., also of importance to patients w/ ☢️ ARS when 🩸 is unavailable).
Thrilled to begin this exciting & innovative life-saving endeavor! Teaming up w #AllanDoctor @UofMaryland @KaloCyte @HaimaThr @PittTTMRC @PhilSpinellaMD @macky_neal @SMSheaLab @CaseEngineer @CWRUBME @CWRUSOM @UAGurkan #HariBaskarn #AndrePalmer @OhioStateCBE

Had a great conversation with @rickdayton (a seasoned donor himself!) about our @DARPA-funded initiative to make dried artificial blood. Delighted to be part of this effort with fantastic colleagues & collaborators! @macky_neal @PhilSpinellaMD @JishnuSenGupta & many more🩸
Are we at the point where we can "make" synthetic blood? The advantages are countless: No need for refrigeration, longer shelf life, fewer human donors. @SMSheaLab was my guest on
@KDKARadio to talk about work being done at @PittTTMRC and @UofMaryland

Proud to be part of the team working on our dried artificial whole blood project. The increased avaialbilty, efficacy and safety for patients with severe bleeding where blood products are not available will translate to many saved lives. #TTMRC
Bleeding is the most common cause of potentially survivable death in trauma, in both military and civilian settings. DARPA has selected a team to begin work on a Field-deployable whole blood equivalent. ow.ly/jVJE50MFBAI
