Building breakthroughs
The future of health isn’t waiting, and neither are we
Investing in the biggest challenges to deliver the greatest impact.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: solve the most significant health challenges facing Americans today — the ones that are deemed too big, too complex, and too high-risk for traditional funding or industry.
At ARPA-H, we don’t just fund research — we build programs, remove barriers, and accelerate innovations that have the potential to change lives.
Our ruthless pursuit of the impossible will create the healthcare solutions that are just waiting to exist.
How We’re Different
Hard problems, high-impact answers
ARPA-H makes pivotal investments in breakthrough technologies and broadly applicable platforms, capabilities, resources, and solutions with the potential to transform important areas of medicine and health that cannot readily be accomplished through traditional research or commercial activity. ARPA-H solutions aim to benefit everyone.

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.
