As someone just pointed out to me, I should add this further clarification:
All team members must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age.
(If there was an osgeo-discuss-usa list, I'd have used that instead.
Apologies.)
On a happier note, though, also observe that:
There are no specific academic, professional or experience-related
requirements. If it is not
obvious from a team's resumes, the team should make a credible case
that it has the skills
necessary to accomplish what it proposes.

Sorry, I left out the most important bit:
DARPA is very supportive of open source -- as a means of doing things
cheaper, bootstrapping faster,
fostering collaboration, and promoting extensibility.

Subject: DARPA-funded short-term incubator for geospatial data analysis
DARPA and George Mason University are running a very novel, incubator-like
opportunity for small teams of people interested in a chance to pursue radical
new ideas in the areas of geospatial and visual data analysis.
If you've got an idea for something truly different in the geo data world, and
would like to spend 8 weeks exploring the idea with a $50K budget, you can find
more details and background here:

Deadline is July 31st, so act fast!
[disclaimers: it is being run by my former boss at DARPA and I'm a member of
the review committee]
