The purpose of DARPA Seedling Week is to rapidly award seedling efforts by streamlining the acquisition process and making “on the spot” awards the same day as Oral Presentations to DARPA. Prior to the Oral Presentations, proposers will be required to submit a Proposal Submission and Presentation (PSP) package one week in advance. This rapid award model will allow DARPA to explore and fund promising new ideas that could possibly inform new “programs” and technology spaces in a historically short time frame.
