DARPA's HUBBLE effort, which seeks an in-silico capability to map protein-protein interactions and identify new diagnostic and therapeutic targets, closes in ten days. The next closest deadline is DARPA's Protein Palace Proposers Day on November 17, followed by the Firefox program solicitation, both due in fourteen days. Three open requirements close within thirty days, while a total of zero close within the next seven days. The Department of Defense accounts for eight of the active open requirements, outpacing the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, each with one. Across the week, DARPA's Biological Technologies Office also posts longer-term solicitations on quantum benchmarking (35 days) and non-optical protein control (43 days).
