This is interesting. I'd think about submitting a proposal for my own projects in progress if it actually made sense to do so. Anyone with experience in that area - is it worth the time for a single dev to submit their proposals?
- newman8r 9y agoactually, after reading the PDF, it sounds like they're just asking for ideas, so it probably doesn't make sense to submit anything that actually exists (unless I'm reading it incorrectly)
- nl 9y agoIt's not entirely out of the question. Some of the other *ARPAs have "proposer days" where you can go and ask questions.
- newman8r 9y agothanks, I am looking into these. here's one link for anyone else interested https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/working-with-iarpa/proposers-day https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/working-with-iarpa/proposers... specifically, this one looks interesting, with a deadline in the next couple of weeks https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs/amon-hen/amon-hen-baa https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs/amon-hen/a...
- adam 9y agoI would highly recommend not spending time as a single developer submitting proposals, and instead start trying to build relationships with some of the winners/participants of past IARPA tournaments. They regularly bid on these IARPA programs and have some level of success. Getting on one of their teams as a SME or with a specialized offering is a great first step. If you're in the area, the proposer's days can give you an opportunity to get up in front of everyone and talk for a couple minutes about you and your capabilities to get your name out there.
