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.”
