Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)

★ Member

Newest federal health research agency (est. 2022). Uses OTA and other flexible procurement to fund breakthrough health technology.

MMT's Current Read

ARPA-H is executing its first wave of major programs: ADVOCATE (agentic clinical AI), Sprint for Women's Health, and health security resilience. Awards for ADVOCATE TA1/TA2/TA3 are expected June 2026. ARPA-H uses OTA procurement extensively, making it accessible to non-traditional vendors. FY2027 budget status is uncertain given broader HHS review.
