The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is announcing the Emerging Health Innovators (EHI) Initiative through solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-25-118. This initiative aims to engage community innovators and early-career investigators to develop innovative biomedical and community-driven health solutions. Proposers can submit their solutions through two specific tracks: Track 1 focuses on Technology-Driven Innovation for biomedical research, while Track 2 emphasizes Community-Centered Innovation that addresses community health issues. The initiative has a timeline that includes a Proposers’ Day, a deadline for solution summaries, and proposed pitch presentation dates, leading to the selection and potential award of grants. Awards will be capped at $350,000 per year for two years, with an optional extension. Eligibility requirements differ across tracks, aiming to empower early-career researchers in Track 1 and community innovators in Track 2. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific merit, potential impact, and cost analysis. Selected performers will engage in collaborative efforts with ARPA-H throughout the grant period, adhering to a structured submission and evaluation process. This initiative aligns with ARPA-H's mission to accelerate health innovation by fostering diverse expertise and solutions.
