ARPA-H announcements Funding opportunities, site selection process, and idea competition Agency-wide Open BAA The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) opened its first Agency-wide Open Broad Agency Announcement (Open BAA), seeking funding proposals for research aiming to improve health outcomes across patient populations, communities, diseases, and health conditions. The BAA calls for proposals to outline breakthrough research and technological advancements. Proposals should investigate unconventional approaches, and challenge accepted assumptions to enable leaps forward in science, technology, systems, or related capabilities. ARPA-H also encourages concepts to advance the objectives of President Biden's Cancer Moonshot, as well as more disease-agnostic approaches. Register for the Open BAA Proposers' Day on April 4 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. EDT. Registration is requested by 5 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 3. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions ahead of the event by emailing baaquestions@arpa-h.gov. View the Open BAA here. Site Selection Process On March 15, 2023, ARPA-H announced the intention to establish sites in three geographic locations across the United States through the pursuit of a hub-and-spoke strategy, forming the foundation of a nationwide health network that seeks to advance ARPA-H's mission to accelerate better health outcomes for everyone. Under the arrangement, 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. Learn more about the site selection strategy here. ARPA-H Dash The ARPA-H Dash to Accelerate Health Outcomes, or "ARPA-H Dash," launched on March 15, 2023 to help identify revolutionary evidence-based ideas to transform health. The ARPA-H Dash is a collaborative online competition open to bold thinkers across health, scientific, and technology communities, as well as the general public. Nominations for the ARPA-H Dash will be accepted through an online portal for review between March 29 and April 7, 2023. Each submission should include a piece of evidence with citation, published after January 1, 2018, a short descriptive title for display in the brackets, identification of which ARPA-H focus area is targeted for transformation, and answers to three questions about the proposed transformation.
