Description

The Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) invests in programs offering the potential for revolutionary changes in technologies that promote homeland security and accelerate the prototyping and deployment of technologies that reduce homeland vulnerabilities. HSARPA has a unique capability to perform these functions in part by awarding procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions for research or prototypes to public or private entities, businesses, federally funded research and development centers and universities. A critical area of focus for DHS is the protection of the homeland from the release of a biological agent. This focus is demonstrated by the BioWatch surveillance system and a number of programs initiated by HSARPA that are developing new sensor technologies. These include the Bioagent Autonomous Networked Detectors (BAND) and Rapid Automated Biological Identification System (RABIS) programs under solicitation RA03- 01, as well as Instantaneous Bio-Aerosol Detector Systems (IBADS; BAA 04-18), Low-Cost Bio-Aerosol Detector Systems (LBADS; BAA 05-08), and Food Biological Agent Detection Sensors (FBADS; BAA 05-06) programs. As a complement to the technology program initiated under RA03-01, HSARPA initiated the Bioinformatics and Assays Development program (BIAD; BAA 04-03) to extend the existing family of detection and forensics assays as well as to develop next generation assays and new tools for assay development. (See www.hsarpabaa.com for details about these past solicitations.) Development of new sensor systems is not a priority for the BIAD2 program.
