Virtual-Integrated Twin for Autonomous Lifesaving (VITAL) Proposers Day

The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting a Proposers Day for the potential proposer community in support of the Virtual-Integrated Twin for Autonomous Lifesaving (VITAL) Program. The Proposers Day will be held on March 31, 2026, in-person and by webcast for remote participation. Advance registration is required. Presentations and discussions will be broadcast via the webcast. Registrants will have the opportunity to provide 1-2 page teaming profiles, give a short “lightning” talk (as described below), participate in a poster session, and/or participate in private one-on-one sessions with the DARPA government team. There is a limited number of timeslots for private one-on-one sessions and oral presentations, so they must be scheduled upon registration on a first come first served basis. Note, all times listed in this announcement and on the registration website are Eastern Time.
