ARPA-H Mission Offices seek proposals that advance care models, novel business solutions, and substantial technical innovation. Topics excluded from consideration include incremental advances, technology already at the clinical trial stage, education and training efforts, and physical infrastructure.
Each Mission Office’s areas of interest are outlined below:
- Health Science Futures Office (HSF): regulating biology to cure instead of treat disease, restoring function through the repair and regrowth of tissues and organs, and modeling biology with AI platforms. To achieve these goals, performers in HSF leverage discoveries from physics, chemistry, and robotics to develop the next generation of clinical tools, technologies, and platforms.
- Proactive Health Office (PHO): prevention detection, prophylactic treatments, population-level approaches to increase adoption of wellness behaviors, and innovative delivery methods of proactive health outcomes.
- Resilient Systems Office (RSO): use of technology to improve robustness of systems (adaptability of biological systems, digital platforms for secure information management), enhancing system efficiency and efficacy (interoperability and integration, user-centric tools), and mitigating disruptions to health care (supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics).
Investigators capable of performing research and/or development may submit a Solution Summary (short concept summary document) to one Mission Office ISO via the ARPA-H Solutions Portal. Submissions accepted until March 20, 2029.
