## Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals to create generalizable and comprehensive computational simulations to predict the behavior of individual Escherichia coli. Simulation software will also be tailored to forecast bacteria function in various user-defined scenarios. This program also seeks innovative experimental workflows to measure E. coli to generate data to parameterize and validate simulation software. Innovations to simulate and measure E. coli will inform one another and accelerate progress towards the ultimate goal – a generalizable and comprehensive simulation software platform to predict E. coli behavior.
