> PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION Polyplexus is an online platform being developed under the DARPA Gamifying the 
> Search for Strategic Surprise (GS3) program.  The aim of the new Polyplexus platform is to fundamentally reshape the 
> R&D process by reducing the time between concept emergence and worthy proposal submission by dramatically increasing 
> efficiency.  The efficiency gains arise from collaborative activities focused on rigorous evidence collection and 
> hypothesis generation, both of which are facilitated by online conversation.  Ultimately, the purpose of Polyplexus 
> will be to build on a continuous expert conversation about the present and future states of science and to generate 
> superior R&D proposals, which are then matched to research sponsors.   
>  
> DARPA/DSO is seeking participants for this pilot program designed to utilize modern connectivity to rapidly develop 
> promising basic research pathways and then efficiently develop basic research proposals. DSO’s intent is to fund some 
> of the research proposals resulting from this pilot program.  As with other recent DARPA/DSO opportunity 
> announcements, the intent of this program is to deliver research proposals that seek to investigate innovative 
> approaches to enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems.  Specifically excluded is research that 
> primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
