What is Proposers’ Day?
Proposer’s Days are events hosted by ARPA-H in connection with a specific funding opportunities/program, held either in-person, virtually, or both. The purpose of Proposer’s Day is to allow potential applicants to socialize research ideas with ARPA-H and receive feedback prior to submission. During these events ARPA-H provides detailed information about the funding program, clarifies submission logistics and encourages teaming among Institutions.

Should I attend proposers’ day?
ARPA-H highly encourages those interested in submitting an application to attend Proposer’s Day. In-person meetings have attendance limits, please contact Jamie Kutner if you are interested in attending a Proposer’s Day event. Virtual attendance may be available, but these events do not always allow for 1:1 meetings with ARPA-H program managers.

What is the submission timeline? 
Submission details including due dates for each funding opportunity/program is provided in each funding announcement/BAA.

Do I have to submit an abstract? 
Although not all funding opportunities/programs require an abstract, ARPA-H strongly encourages abstracts prior to full submission (even when not required). Make sure to read each funding announcement/BAA carefully for abstracts requirements.

What is the benefit of submitting a General BAA Abstract before the March 2024 deadline? 
Submitting early has two advantages 1) for those asked to submit a full proposal, it provides more time for proposal development (2) ensures that funds for this opportunities/program are still available. This program accepts submissions on a rolling basis or until funds run out.

How should I contact a program manager? 
Program managers are unable to accommodate individual requests for calls or meetings to discuss questions. The best way to receive feedback is to submit an abstract or attend a Proposer’s Day. For general inquiries, please complete the ARPA-H contact form. 

Please note the ROM below is a sample only. Modify your ROM as appropriate for your proposal.
