Apply for the Opportunity to work with an ARPA-H Grant Writer to Create a Competitive ARPA-H Abstract

Awards will be given to 3-5 meritorious application teams and will cover the cost of working with a grant writer to help develop and refine a competitive ARPA-H Abstract (the first competitive stage to submitted a full application).

Abstract Development

Awarded teams will have the opportunity to meet 1:1 with an experienced grant writer and will receive written guidance and feedback on how to enhance and strengthen their Abstract specifically for a ARPA-H funding opportunity. Proposals must state how their project would address one of ARPA-H’s four focus areas. Awardees will be required to complete a post-activity report on the status of their submission to ARPA-H. Additional support beyond the Abstract stage may be available. Please note, this mechanism is not intended to fund research projects.
