Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is a research funding agency established in 2022 that supports transformative biomedical and health breakthroughs – ranging from the molecular to the societal – to provide health solutions for all. ARPA-H has launched ARPANET-H, a nationwide health innovation network anchored by three ARPA-H regional hubs. The Customer Experience hub - based in Dallas, TX – and the Investor Catalyst hub – based in Cambridge, MA – are each supported by a consortium with a nationwide network of spokes to bring together the nation’s voices, resources, and needs. Together, the hubs and spokes will rapidly create and transition life-changing health solutions to improve the lives of all Americans. Mass General Brigham is a spoke member of the Investor Catalyst Hub and the Customer Experience Hub. ARPA-H offers a historic opportunity to bridge the translational gap but requires a distinct approach from traditional federal grant funding and the cultivation of a specialized mindset and skills. Mass General Brigham Innovation is hosting a series of customized workshops on how to win competitive contracts and perform successfully if selected as an ARPA-H contract recipient.

Mass General Brigham Grand Rounds is the system's official monthly series that features educational and experiential talks by leading innovators across the Mass General Brigham system. Open to all employees and the general public to foster discussion and collaboration.
