PROPOSER’S DAY

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is hosting a Proposers’ Day in support of the HEalth care Rewards to Achieve Improved OutcomES for All (HEROES) program. The Proposers' Day will be a two-day hybrid event from February 13, 2024, beginning at 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM February 14, 2024. Advance registration is required for in person and virtual attendance. The registration deadline is February 5, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST. ARPA-H has issued a draft HEROES Program Solicitation (PS), ARPA-H-SN-24-04. This draft PS is available at https://sam.gov.

PROPOSERS’ DAY GOALS

  1. Introduce the ARPA-H HEROES program goals and vision to the research community;
  2. Clarify the logistics of an ARPA-H program as well as HEROES-specific objectives and milestones;
  3. Demonstrate the HEROES Outcomes Toolkit;
  4. Encourage and promote teaming among potential Outcomes Buyers, Investors, and Health Accelerators;
  5. Solicit feedback on the program design to inform the final solicitation; and
  6. Collect relevant questions and feedback on the program. Questions and answers will be maintained on a Q&A document at https://arpa-h.gov/research-and-funding/programs/heroes.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The goal of the HEROES program is to create rewards that produce improvements in Public Health Outcomes. The program will evaluate novel interventions that can rapidly improve health outcomes for everyone living in a geographic area. Proposers will design cost effective interventions and the program will collect data on which of these interventions consistently improve health outcomes. ARPA-H will also closely monitor performance to assess which interventions have the biggest impact on specific demographics and/or geographies with a critical focus on the reduction of health disparities. HEROES will set parameters and offer significant subject matter expertise to performers to rapidly develop novel healthcare markets in multiple regions. If successful, HEROES has the potential to be scaled nationally and become self-sustainable in the future.
