ARPA-H, a new agency within NIH, has released its first open funding opportunity, a BAA (broad agency announcement) seeking revolutionary ideas that will accelerate better health outcomes for everyone. Modeled after DARPA, ARPA-H is interested in making significant investments into ideas that can make a transformational impact in the near term.
Earlier this week, we announced a information session for those looking to learn more about this opportunity. Today we are pleased to announce that OVPR Research Development Services will also be holding an in-person brainstorming session. Interested faculty will have the opportunity to discuss their ARPA-H ideas with colleagues to help develop concepts that fit ARPA-H's specific guidelines. There will also be opportunities for collaboration/teaming and signing up for additional OVPR support.
What: ARPA-H Brainstorming session with other faculty members
When: Wednesday, August 9th from 11:30 – 1:00 pm
Where: Storrs Campus - McHugh 109– click here to register
This opportunity has a rolling deadline and a low barrier to entry (only an abstract is required initially).
We encourage anyone interested in the brainstorming session to either attend the information session on August 7th 3:00 – 4:00pm or watch the recording prior to attending the brainstorming session to learn more information. The link to the recording will be sent out to all registrants for the brainstorming event ASAP.
