About Us

The Investor Catalyst Hub supports ARPA-H through these core capabilities:

Network Surveys collect critical feedback from spokes to help inform ARPA-H research priorities and program needs. Responses provide qualitative and quantitative data to generate insights, illuminate existing capabilities, address constraints, and identify new opportunities.

Research & Development Projects provide access to nimble funding opportunities through easy, flexible, and efficient contracts that enable all spokes to work with the government and help new promising solutions get to market. These projects encourage collaboration among spokes, build on feedback from Network Surveys, and support ARPA-H performers.

Network Events convene spokes to engage with ARPA-H leaders, highlight expertise within the network, and foster unconventional collaboration between spokes. Events facilitate open dialogues between spokes across disciplines, focus areas, and geographies to build a vibrant community that can best meet the needs of the health innovation ecosystem.
