Predictive Psychological Architectures for Decision-Making (PPADM)

The Department of Defense, through DARPA, is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program focused on "Predictive Psychological Architectures for Decision-Making (PPADM)." The objective is to investigate the psychological attributes of decision-makers and their impact on decision-making processes, particularly in complex and uncertain environments where algorithmic and human decision-makers may disagree. This research is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of decision-making systems within the military, especially in high-stakes scenarios such as combat and medical triage. Proposals are due by September 24, 2025, and must demonstrate prior research in the last five years, with a focus on military decision-making contexts.
