ARPA VoicesARPA-H will pursue ideas that break the mold on how we normally support fundamental research and commercial products in this country. Ideas so bold no one else, not even the private sector, is willing to give them a chance or to sink a lot of money into trying to solve. Ideas so audacious that people say they just might work only — if only we could try. Well, we’re about to try in a big way.

ARPA-H serves the American people, and we can’t understand the problems and needs of the American people sitting behind our desks. We have to actually get out into the community and engage with them about what they actually need. Having these conversations and defining these problems is going to be a requirement of any Program Manager.

The power and thrill of the ARPA model is fully enabling Program Managers to advance a mere concept to a delivered device in just a few years. I’m truly honored to be an ARPA-H Program Manager, allowing me to extend that approach to patients across the United States.
