Assured Neuro Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (ANSR) Proposers Day

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Innovation Office (I2O) is sponsoring a Proposers Day, to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of the anticipated Assured Neuro Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (ANSR) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). The BAA will be posted on the System for Award Management (SAM) website at https://sam.gov/. This Proposers Day will be held at the unclassified level. There is no fee to attend. This meeting is not open to the general public or members of the media.

The Proposers Day will be held virtually on June 1, 2022, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM (ET) via Zoom. Check-in begins at 9:00AM (ET). Advance registration is required to attend. Attendance at the ANSR Proposers Day is voluntary and is not required to propose to subsequent solicitations (if any) on this topic. The Proposers Day does not constitute a formal Request for Proposals nor a Request for Information. This notification is issued solely for information and program planning purposes; no submissions against this notice will be accepted by DARPA. DARPA will not provide reimbursement for costs incurred to participate in this Proposers Day. Interested parties to this notice are cautioned that nothing herein obligates DARPA to issue a solicitation.

The Proposers Day will include overview presentations by DARPA personnel. There will be a Question & Answer session following the presentations. Following the Proposers Day, DARPA anticipates posting additional information regarding the ANSR program (e.g., DARPA materials presented at the Proposers Day and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document) to http://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/opportunities.

DARPA hosts Proposer Days primarily to provide potential performers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government's research and development solicitations, to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation, and to promote teaming arrangements between researchers. Proposer Days are open only to registered potential proposers.
