This new set of funding opportunities replaces the previous Open BAA. The “open” ideas will now be directed toward ARPA-H mission office areas: Health Science Futures, Proactive Health, etc.

To enhance our ability to support initiatives that align with our mission and Strategic Plan, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is now accepting submissions to its Mission Office-specific ISOs. The four Mission Office-specific ISOs include:

• Health Science Futures - Accelerating advances across research areas and removing limitations that stymie progress towards solutions for broad ranges of disease and conditions. View the Health Science Futures ISO on SAM.gov.
• Proactive Health - Creating capabilities to detect and characterize disease risk and promote treatments and behaviors to anticipate threats whether viral, bacterial, chemical, physical, or psychological. View the Proactive Health ISO on SAM.gov.
  • View the Proactive Health virtual Proposers' Day Special Notice.
  • Register to attend the Proactive Health virtual Proposers' Day on April 9, 2024, 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET. Registration closes at 5:00 PM ET on April 5, 2024.
• Resilient Systems - Developing capabilities, business models, and integrations to endure crisis such as pandemics, social disruption, and economic instability. View the Resilient Systems ISO on SAM.gov.
• Scalable Solutions - Addressing challenges including geography, distribution, manufacturing, data and information, and economies of scale to develop impactful, timely, and equitable solutions. View the Scalable Solutions ISO on SAM.gov.

Mission Office-specific ISOs allow ARPA-H to fund health-related technology research and development outside of the traditional grant or contract structure by using solicitations designed for cooperative agreements and "other transactions" for flexibilities outside of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
