DARPA Reviewing

A panel of reviewers, usually all from DoD entities and/or national laboratories, rates all grants and ranks them with respect to fixed criteria

• All proposals are ranked into two categories
• Selectable
• Not selectable

The BAA specifies the criteria of review

• The PM chooses weighting factors within criteria

The PM funds some, but not all, of the selectables as his/her funding allows and based on program needs
