Last week, ARPA-H launched two programs. One aims to completely change the health care paradigm through an incentive-based model, while another looks to restore sight in those who are blind.
- HEalth care Rewards to Achieve Improved OutcomES (HEROES) Program intends to trial and validate a radically different approach to creating preventative care incentives in the health market.
HEROES calls for letters of interest from potential health catalysts, corporations, investors, health insurers, and philanthropists invested in addressing one of these four health challenges: Maternal Health, Heart Attack and Stroke, Opioid Overdose, and Alcohol-Related Health Harms. Teams with diverse backgrounds and capabilities will be important for fulfilling the program’s goals, and HEROES encourages applications from interested parties with many different specialties or areas of expertise.

- Transplantation of Human Eye Allografts THEA Program intends to transplant whole human eyes to restore vision for the blind and visually impaired.
THEA intends to enable whole functional eye transplantation to restore vision for the blind and visually impaired. In addition, THEA aims to develop new technologies or therapies to preserve or regrow nerves from the eye to the brain. These regenerative solutions could help prevent degenerative blindness and are a necessary step toward successful whole eye transplantation. To achieve THEA’s goals, the program invites proposals under three technical areas focused on (1) retrieval of donor eyes and tissue preservation, (2) optic nerve repair and regeneration, and (3) surgical procedures, post-operative care, and functional assessment.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has released a new research funding opportunity through the Systems for Action Research Program to fund Systems & Services Research to Address Systemic Racism.
This funding opportunity will award studies rigorously testing innovative approaches of helping medical, social and public health systems work together to dismantle systemic racism and address the health and social needs of people experiencing health inequities. Each study supported by the S4A program must examine a novel approach to systems alignment that engages partners from medical care, public health, and social services systems in collaborative efforts to dismantle structural and systemic racism and improve health equity. This 2024 Call for Proposals will provide funding for a new cohort of research studies to produce new, actionable evidence for aligning across the three systems to address systemic racism. The program office will hold drop-in, virtual office hours via Zoom.
Details | | | Limited Submission Opportunities | | Description: This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Health Center Program’s Service Area Competition-Additional Area (SAC-AA).

Sponsor Deadline: Tuesday, February 6, 2024 | | Description: The Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Translational Impacts (TI) offers researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering funded by NSF the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development, catalyze partnerships and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit. The Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) track seeks to achieve the same goals as the PFI-TT track by supporting instead complex, multi-faceted technology development projects that are typically beyond the scope of a single researcher or institution and require a multi-organizational, interdisciplinary, synergistic collaboration.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Tuesday, March 26, 2024
Sponsor Deadline: Tuesday, May 7, 2024 | Description: The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support educational activities with a primary focus on: Research Experiences.
