The DARPA Biological Technologies Office (BTO) is sponsoring an outreach event for university researchers, potential performers and transition partners. Entitled "Breakthrough Biological Technologies for National Security," the discussion will highlight current programs and how best to work with the agency. The event will be held on Thursday, February 23, 2023 via Zoom from 1:00 p.m. to approximately 2:30 p.m. ET.

Following an introduction by BTO Director Dr. Kerri Dugan, Ms. Efstathia (Effie) Fragogiannis, Director of the DARPA Contracts Management Office, will provide information on “Doing Business with DARPA.” Then DARPA program managers will provide overviews of their programs describing technical achievements and the current state-of-the-art technologies developed by performers. A moderated discussion session will then follow.

Meeting logistics and an agenda will be provided leading up to the event. Please contact Stacey.Wierzba.ctr@darpa.mil if you have any questions about the event. The deadline to register is February 16, 2023.
