ARPA-H_DECIDE-ET_Solicitation_DRAFT Overview of Exploration Topic Although Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) have developed many advanced therapies for rare and fatal diseases,  access to AMCs remains limited due to outdated production methods and inadequate quality validation. To enhancing quality assurance technologies at AMCs, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has initiated the Decentralized Engineering of […]

CATALYST_ISO_(DRAFT) Overview of CATALYST Solicitation Current in vivo animal model testing methods often fail to predict human drug safety accurately, leading to inefficiencies and high costs. The Health Science Futures (HSF) Office of the Advanced Research projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has introduced the CATALYST program to transform drug development. This program will foster the

Even with incredible scientific progress, cancer remains the second highest leading cause of death in the United States (U.S.) and one of the highest causes of death worldwide. To accelerate and bolster the great innovations made in therapeutics, diagnostics, and patient care, the Biden-Harris administration has reignited the Cancer Moonshot initiative. This program, introduced by

DECIDE_ET_Solicitation_DRAFT The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has introduced the Decentralized Engineering of Cells Informed by Dynamic Evidence (DECIDE) Exploration Topic (ET), representing a crucial initiative designed to revolutionize the production and validation of autologous cell therapies. This ET targets significant enhancements in the production processes at Academic Medical Centers (AMCs), focusing on
