DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA) opportunity. YFAs is an accolade, but at its
core is a 2-year grant for ~$500K to faculty who are 8 or less years into their
job.
Please note topic #s 12 ("Ecological niche-preference Engineering) and 16
("Novel Approaches to Reduce Agricultural Loss and Increase Crop
