ARPA-H Listening Sessions Summary Report and Updates

In follow-up to the 15 listening sessions that were hosted on the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) earlier this summer, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have posted a summary outlining the key themes heard. These sessions, which included more than 5,100 stakeholders and nearly 250 organizations from across the country, were held to understand the opportunities and barriers to accelerating biomedical and health research breakthroughs from the perspectives of patient advocates, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, professional societies, the academic research community, industry, and others. A set of FAQs on ARPA-H, informed by the discussions during the listening sessions, were also posted.

Comments or questions may be submitted to ARPAHcomments@nih.gov in advance of the session. More info will be posted on the NIH ARPA-H events page as it comes available.
