Federal Agency Name: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (darpa), Defense Sciences Office (DSO) Funding Opportunity Title: Young Faculty Award (YFA) Funding Opportunity Number: DARPARA2501CATALOG of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number(s): 12.910 Research and Technology Developmentprogram Description: Darpa Is Soliciting Innovative Research Proposals in the Areas of Interest to the Following Darpa Technical Offices: Defense Sciences Office (dso), Information Innovation Office (I2O), Microsystems Technology Office (mto), and the Tactical Technology Office (tto). Further Detail Regarding the Specific Technical Areas of Interest Can Be Found Below Under Open Office Topics. Proposed Research Should Investigate Innovative Approaches That Enable Revolutionary Advances in Science, Devices, or Systems. Specifically Excluded Is Research That Primarily Results in Evolutionary Improvements to the Existing State of Practice.summary: This Proposal Seeks to Establish a New Field of High-entropy Aqueous Solutionengineering That Enables Rational Design and Synthesis of Out-of-equilibrium Biocompatibleaqueous Liquids That Are Kinetically-stabilized Against Crystallization Down to Cryogenictemperatures. Such Liquids Will Both Enable Human-scale Organ Tissue Preservation Andadvance the State of Knowledge in Low-temperature Liquid Stability, With Additional Applicationsin De-icing Materials, Low-temperature Heat Exchange Fluids, Etc.impact: the Realization of Minimally-toxic Aqueous Solutions That Remain Stable Againstcrystallization at Cryogenic Temperatures Could Enable Long-term Banking of Myriad Complexbiomaterials Critical to National Defense and Overarching National Healthcare Needs, Includinglife-saving Transplantable Organs, Limbs Lost on the Battlefield, and Next-generation Cell Therapiesand Vaccines. the Basic Science of Entropic Stabilization as Applied to Low-temperature Liquidswill Also Advance Other Key Applications Under Extreme Cold Temperatures, Including Nextgenerationaircraft De-icing and Cryogenic Cooling in Quantum Computing and in Space.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then unspent ceiling.
