Compositional Learning-And-Reasoning for AI Complex Systems Engineering (CLARA)

The DARPA CLARA Disruption Opportunity (DARPA‑PA‑25‑07) seeks fundamental‑research proposals that create new, high‑assurance approaches tightly integrating machine‑learning (ML) and automated reasoning (AR). Proposers must focus on a single Technical Area (TA1 or TA2) and, for TA1, develop novel ML/AR compositions selected from the list in Section I.H. that can generate and evaluate Courses of Action (COA) under constraints (e.g., supply limits) with logical explanations and hierarchical decomposition, or provide multi‑condition medical guidance that predicts treatment effects and reasons about interacting conditions. All submissions must use the DARPA‑PA‑25‑07 templates and the Streamlined Cost Buildup Workbook (TA1 or TA2), comply with the administrative and national policy requirements in Section 8.2, and acknowledge that an independent verification and validation (IV V) team—competed separately—will review deliverables. The Government does not impose publication restrictions on fundamental‑research awards but may require modifications or restrictions for non‑fundamental proposals. Technical and contractual questions must be directed in English to the CLARA support email; direct contact with the Program Manager may delay response.
