[Jacques Hurtubise]

Colleagues,

It seems as if the dynamic duo actually does exist.

This might be of interest.

Subject: DARPA solicitation of potential interest to members of your society

Dear Sir or Madam:

You are being contacted in regard to two solicitations that may be of interest to the members of your society, particularly mathematicians or biologists interested in novel applications for new mathematics in describing and understanding biology.  Please note that these solicitations are requests for information (RFIs) issued solely for information and new program planning purposes; they do not constitute formal solicitations for proposals.

The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is seeking innovative ideas and approaches that may be applicable to either of the two solicitations described below:

Biochronicity and Temporal Mechanisms Arising in Nature (BaTMAN) seeks to provide novel approaches to reveal the fundamental nature of time in biology. BaTMAN could develop an understanding of the relationship between biological systems and the spatial-temporal universe through the application of advanced principles from the physical sciences. In defining the relationship, one aim of this line of research is to transform biology from a descriptive to a predictive field of science.
For additional information, please see BaTMAN solicitation DARPA-SN-10-55 at the URL below:
https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=47b5315e2a78394e03a7ee935ee33fd1&tab=core&_cview=0 <https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=47b5315e2a78394e03a7ee935ee33fd1&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0>

Robustness of Biologically-Inspired Networks (RoBIN) seeks to apply the critical control features of biological networks to build unique models for adaptable networks, and create a dynamic biologically-inspired network of scientists and other experts for crisis response and complex decision support. RoBIN is designed to provide novel approaches to generate robust and adaptable networks of humans and machines inspired by biological design principles.
For additional information, please see RoBIN solicitation DARPA-SN-10-56 at the URL below:
https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=02d46db085a81f640e8ea6bc4e8898a0&tab=core&_cview=0 <https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=02d46db085a81f640e8ea6bc4e8898a0&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0>

Responses to both of the solicitations are due July 30, 2010 by 4:00 PM EDT (8:00 PM GMT). All technical and administrative correspondence, questions regarding this announcement, and how to respond to this RFI should be sent to DARPA-SN-10-55 at darpa.mil (refer to "BaTMAN RFI" in all correspondence) or DARPA-SN-10-56 at darpa.mil (refer to "RoBIN RFI" in all correspondence).  Emails sent in response to this email or addressed to any DARPA support staff will result in no response.

Regards,

Matthew Clement Ph.D.
Contractor Support to DARPA/DSO
