Highlighted Opportunity
One year after its initial launch, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has released its first funding opportunities:
ARPA-H Dash competition seeks advanced concepts with the potential to revolutionize health outcomes
ARPA-H Dash competition seeks advanced concepts with the potential to revolutionize health outcomes
- Goal: revolutionary evidence-based ideas to transform health in four areas: Health Sciences Futures, Scalable Solutions, Proactive Health, Resilient Systems
- Register to submit your idea (fill out a brief form)
- Submission Period: March 29–April 7, 2023
- Awards (8): Champion (1) $15,000; Runner-Up (1) $12,000; Semifinalists (2) $10,000 each; Quarterfinalists (4) $6,000 each.
- Goal: ARPA-H is seeking proposals for research to improve health outcomes across patient populations, communities, diseases and health conditions and should fall within one of four areas: Health Sciences Futures, Scalable Solutions, Proactive Health, Resilient Systems
- Submission Deadline: March 14, 2024, 3 pm ET
- Awards: Multiple awards are anticipated and will depend on the quality of the proposals received and the availability of funds.
- Goal: ARPA-H will establish three hubs in various geographic locations, each supporting a network of partners, or spokes, that will actively support the dynamic needs of ARPA-H programs. Each hub site will form a center of gravity for key ARPA-H functions but will retain a light footprint.
- Hub No. 1, National Capital Region (NCR) and focus on stakeholder engagement and operations.
- Hub No. 2, a customer experience hub, will drive user testing, adoption, access, and trust of ARPA-H projects, taking a human-centered approach to design products and services that people need and want to use.
- Hub No. 3, an investor catalyst, will provide resources to help performers bring their ideas to market.
