Frequently Asked Questions
BAA 06-35: Self-Regenerative Systems (SRS)
1. Will we be at a disadvantage if we didn't participate in Phase I?
2. Many university policies rule out participation in any research that requires pre-publication approval. How can university talent benefit this program?
3. Are you interested in cognitive repair techniques for physical damage suffered in natural disasters or kinetic warfare?
4. The BAA doesn’t restrict offerors to a pre-defined project time period, though it does mention that more rapid achievement of research goals is preferable. What do you consider a reasonable time period, and is there a length that a project should not exceed?

4. The BAA doesn’t restrict offerors to a pre-defined project time period, though it does mention that more rapid achievement of research goals is preferable. What do you consider a reasonable time period, and is there a length that a project should not exceed?
A reasonable time period, as inferred in the BAA, is the proposer’s best estimate of the amount of time that will be required to accomplish the stated goals. DARPA will not award a contract or other form of agreement with a period of performance greater than five years.
