Question of the Week: What if… the US had a new health research agency?

  • 1.  Question of the Week: What if… the US had a new health research agency?

    This month we asked and answered the question. The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), initiated by the Biden Administration and funded by Congress in 2022, funds out-of-the-ordinary approaches to pursue biomedical breakthroughs that might not happen through the standard processes of federally-supported research.
    ARPA-H's own approach asks "what if" questions. AAMCNews put questions to agency leadership to understand how it will assess markets, streamline research, and build public-private networks to fuel biomedical breakthroughs.
