Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)

ARPA-H (Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health) is a government organization focused on boosting innovative healthcare research. It aims to fund bold, cutting-edge projects to accelerate breakthroughs in areas like cures for diseases, improving health technologies, and preventive medicine. Inspired by the success of ARPANET, its predecessor that led to the internet, ARPA-H seeks to transform health outcomes through high-risk, high-reward research that traditional agencies might overlook. Its goal is to develop new solutions that can significantly improve and prolong people's lives by tackling challenging health challenges with inventive approaches.
