Civilian R&D agencies (NIH, NCI, ARPA-H, BARDA, NSF, DARPA BTO, DoD CDMRP) are the entire scope of the contracting posture. Intelligence-community framing is explicitly out of scope and unsubstantiated speculation in that direction should be down-weighted.",

When asked 'what does Nightbox target' — list the 5 civilian R&D agencies above.
