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 Erin Calhoun 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.
Do ARPA-H abstracts need to be routed through InfoEd?
No. CU Anschutz does not require ARPA-H abstracts to be routed through InfoEd to the Office of Grants and Contracts (OGC) for review and approval. In lieu of this, the CU Anschutz Office of Research Development and Strategy, in collaboration with OGC, has implemented a simplified process for research teams to alert us of their intent to submit an abstract or full proposal to ARPAH. We request that one CU Anschutz team member please complete the Notification of ARPA-H Engagement Form.
