ARPA-H is looking for health visionaries.
Deeply technical. Big vision.

Autism is a diverse group of conditions related to brain development.
Signs can emerge in early childhood, yet many people remain undiagnosed for years.
@WHO stresses that early understanding and the right support can make a meaningful difference.

Much too generous! I've been very fortunate to have the support and help from incredibly talented and innovative people and teams over the years.
The head of Kennedy’s new autism project has roots in Iraq War and Sesame Street. A Navy veteran, Russell Shilling is also the father of two sons with autism trib.al/3AmonHI
We are looking for the best proposals in research and in technology solutions! Take a look!
Autism doesn’t follow one pattern. Care can’t follow one playbook.
ARPA-H just launched SPECTRA to bring precision to autism diagnosis and care.
SPECTRA will turn biology, data, and real-world signals into earlier diagnosis and more tailored support — while building tools that support quality of like beyond the clinic.
We’re recruiting teams across genetics, AI, neuroscience, diagnostics, therapeutics, and assistive tech.

Brilliant tech trapped in the lab is just expensive research.
ARPA-H helps small businesses make the leap from lab to care.
At our small business awardee kickoff, founders met investors, experts, and partners who can push their technologies forward.
Great science is only the start. ARPA-H turns small business speed into health breakthroughs.

Excited to announce the launch of the CSLib Initiative! This will do for CS what Mathlib is doing for math, and enable formal verification of software. Thanks to @coeff_giving for their support. I hope other funders will also support it, and help us formalize other fields.
We're delighted to announce the launch of the CSLib Initiative, a new fund at @RenPhilanthropy.
CSLib is an open-source library formalizing computer-science theory in the Lean proof assistant — aiming to be for computer science what Mathlib has become for mathematics.
