DARPA is hosting this Proposers Day for the MARRS program to:
- Promote teaming arrangements between researchers
- Provide potential proposers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government’s research and development solicitations
- Increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation
Therefore, this Proposers Day is only open to registered potential proposers (i.e., the events are closed to the general public and media). For this particular program, Proposers Day registration is open to potential proposers who are U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and foreign nationals.
Registration
The Proposers Day webcast is free.
Registration closes on Jan. 14, 2026, at 4 p.m. ET, or when capacity is reached, whichever comes first. Advance registration is required. All persons wishing to attend the webcast must register (whether viewing alone or as part of a group).
Lightning Talks
Attendees may be afforded the opportunity to give a Lightning Talk (a 5-minute oral presentation) during the webcast outlining their interests and capabilities. The purpose of these presentations is to facilitate teaming discussions among the attendees. Upon registering, attendees may indicate if they would like to give a Lightning Talk.
Notes
All registrants who are not U.S. citizens must complete and submit either a DARPA Form 60 (U.S. Permanent Resident and Foreign National Visit Request – e.g., industry or academia) or an Official Visit Request (foreign government personnel, only) through their country’s embassy based in Washington, D.C., no later than 4 p.m. ET on Jan. 8, 2026. Form 60 submission instructions are provided in the registration confirmation email.
Contact your embassy staff for assistance in submitting the Official Visit Request.
