ARPA-H’s Open Broad Agency Announcement
ARPA-H has opened its first Agency-wide Open BAA, seeking funding proposals for research aiming to improve health outcomes across patient populations, communities, diseases, and health conditions.
The BAA calls for proposals to outline breakthrough research and technological advancements and is open to all researchers, including those from universities, small and large companies, and research organizations.
Proposals should outline potential breakthrough research, investigate unconventional approaches, and challenge accepted ideas to help enable significant leaps forward in science, technology, systems, or related capabilities. Think big and revolutionary—small, incremental efforts are out of scope.
On April 4, ARPA-H will host a Proposers’ Day for interested parties to learn more about the application process for the Open BAA and ask questions.
Date: April 4, 2023 11 am-1 pm (registration closes April 3, 2023 at 5pm EDT

National Science Foundation Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Current epidemiological models have proved insufficient to understanding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to human behavioral and social processes that are missing from the models.
These processes include structural characteristics such as differential living conditions and patterns of social interaction, and behavioral characteristics such as responsiveness to incentives and information by different segments of the population.
As a result, the mathematical models and, tools for model analyses and simulations that were developed to respond to the pandemic were not as effective or useful as they could have been.
The IHBEM program is motivated by the urgent need to provide more reliable modeling tools to inform decision making and to evaluate public health policies during pandemics and other public health crises, with the premise that important advances may be made by incorporating human behavioral and social processes in mathematical epidemiological models.
The goal of this program is to minimize unintended outcomes of public health interventions.
Deadline for applications: Submission window: April 3 - April 14, 2023
