Program and “What if…” poster series

At ARPA-H, our pursuit of health breakthroughs begins with a deceptively simple question: What if?

To reach transformative health solutions for everyone, we need to push ourselves to think beyond our current limitations. We need to ask what’s missing, what could be, and where could we go? When we ask “What if?” we bring the impossible into focus.

Inspired by the infinite possibility of this question, we challenged ourselves to illustrate several seemingly audacious solutions. Our “What if?” posters reflect a wide range of health challenges — and their audacious potential solutions.

ARPA-H programs launched

ARPA-H programs are ambitious and bold - each aiming to radically improve health by turning seemingly impossible ideas into real, groundbreaking health transformations. Imagine with us the solutions that could reach everyone who needs them.
