DARPA-BAA-11-37 - Reliable Central-Nervous-System Interfaces (RCI)

Concise description of the funding opportunity -- DARPA seeks to develop reliable in-vivo CNS motor-signal recording and sensory-signal stimulating interfaces. Such efforts will involve design, fabrication, testing, and analysis of new materials and technologies to demonstrate substantial improvements in reliability and quantity of CNS motor-signal information. Ultimately DARPA desires to develop clinically viable technologies, enabling wounded service members to control state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs.

Multiple awards are anticipated. Depending on the quality of proposals received,total funding for all awards made under this BAA is limited to no more than $18,000,000 for multi-disciplinary research teams. For more details read the file.
