ARPA-H Funding Priority
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.”
ARPA-H Funding Opportunities
IHSI will share funding opportunities as they become available. Please subscribe to the IHSI e-newsletter to receive monthly updates.
Mission Office-Specific Innovative Solutions Openings (ISOs)
ISOs provide a mechanism for potential performers to seek funds for research projects that do not fit within the scope of an existing program. Each of the ARPA-H Mission Offices – Health Science Futures, Proactive Health, Resilient Systems, and Scalable Solutions – accepts applications on a rolling basis and makes awards based on a wide variety of factors. Read each ISO description carefully to ensure your submission is appropriate to the specific Mission Office.
Look for additional solicitations in the coming weeks and months. View all programs and subscribe to receive updates on the ARPA-H website.
Connect with IHSI
Please reach out to IHSI for additional information, connections to clinical, community, and industry health partners, and support for Illinois researchers considering ARPA-H Funding.
Illinois is well-positioned to respond to ARPA-H's mission.
IHSI and the Office of Proposal Development are providing support for ARPA-H proposals. We will continue to work closely with our colleagues at Lewis-Burke Associates and serve as a resource for anyone interested in connect with other researchers and pursuing ARPA-H funding. Please contact Maggie Berg, IHSI Senior Research Development Manager.
“[Illinois’] can-do spirit of innovation and creativity is just one of the reasons that I’m so excited about ARPA-H.”
