The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) was formally established in May 2022 within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This new agency “will support transformative high-risk, high-reward research to drive biomedical and health breakthroughs—ranging from molecular to societal—that would provide transformative solutions for all patients.” Understanding the unique aspects of ARPA-H will be critical in order to build the teams, networks, and partners needed to successfully compete for ARPA-H funding. This session will give an overview on the latest information on ARPA-H and discuss steps that WashU researchers can be doing to prepare for ARPA-H calls for applications.
