Common Misunderstanding
“Some people seem to get a lot of Darpa funding, all those grants must be wired”
- DARPA is torn between two needs
- Support the best scientists
- GET RESULTS
- Going with a proven performer lowers the risk
- Already a well-known scientist
- track record of getting results
- The DARPA review process is closed, so there is no feedback if you are not funded
- helps perpetuate this misunderstanding
