Protein Palace Proposers Day | November 17, 2026

In person | Arlington, Virginia

Help DARPA break a major bottleneck in biomanufacturing.

The new Protein Palace program aims to develop a universal, tunable platform capable of rapidly purifying virtually any protein. By moving beyond slow, custom-designed separation methods, the program seeks to accelerate the scale-up and production of mission-critical biological materials for the Department of War.

Join the Proposers Day to explore the program vision, connect with fellow innovators, and build the multidisciplinary teams needed to take on this challenge.

Registration closes November 9 at 4 p.m. ET.

Attendance is limited, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Additional details are available on the Protein Palace program page and in the Special Notice on SAM.gov.
