ARPA-H hits the ground running with Sprint for Women's Health

As part of the first-ever White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, First Lady Jill Biden and ARPA-H Director Renee Wegrzyn announced the ARPA-H Sprint for Women's Health, a new funding opportunity to address unmet challenges in women's health.

ARPA-H's Sprint for Women's Health will commit $100 million to fundamentally change the trajectory of women's health care and radically accelerate the next generation of discoveries.

Want to learn more? Interested organizations can request to attend a virtual Proposer's Day on March 6, 2024, when researchers and innovators will have an opportunity to network with the broader women's health community and ask the ARPA-H team questions about the sprint.

ARPA-H will seek funding proposals with revolutionary, evidence-based ideas from a diverse mix of scientific visionaries to improve the lives of millions of women. Awardees will develop unconventional approaches and innovative new avenues to push high-impact biomedical research forward.
