Mechanisms for Amplification of fusion Reaction Rates in Solids (MARRS)
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals for the "Mechanisms for Amplification of Fusion Reaction Rates in Solids (MARRS)" program, aimed at exploring and implementing methods to enhance nuclear fusion reactions in solids at or near room temperature. Proposals should focus on revolutionary advancements rather than incremental improvements, requiring detailed technical approaches, performance metrics, and justifications for requested resources, including labor and equipment. This initiative is critical for advancing scientific understanding and technological capabilities in fusion energy, with potential benefits for both government and commercial sectors. Interested parties must submit their proposals by March 12, 2026, and can contact the BAA Coordinator at MARRS@darpa.mil for further information.
Eligible Applicants
All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. See the Eligibility Information section of the BAA for more information.
