DARPA funding for independent businesses and research groups is very hands-off. That's the whole point. I can't think of a single recent case where a DARPA grantee even complained about improper pressure.
- uncoder0 11y agoBeen contracting with DARPA for nearly 9 years. 4 at another company and 5 at my company. Never had any issues with improper pressure. DARPA PM's are always a joy to work with and very focused on how the projects they fund will transition successfully into the commercial sector.
