BiTS was designed by former DARPA PMs to distill the strategies and tactics behind successful programs, to empower the next generation of scientific visionaries. The program leaders, Joshua Elliott and JP Chretien, have programmed hundreds of millions of dollars across multiple programs in AI for science, robotics, pandemic preparedness and medical technologies. Together, they built a network of advisors and mentors ready to help you develop your coordinated research program, and a curriculum to guide your journey.
