ARPA-H Comprehensive Organ System Modeling in Outer Space (COSMOS) Innovative Solutions Opening
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-165
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is seeking proposals under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-165 for the Comprehensive Organ System Modeling in Outer Space (COSMOS) initiative. This program aims to determine if microgravity in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) accelerates tissue aging across brain, cardiac, uterine, and kidney tissues compared to terrestrial rates. If the Tissue Aging Rate in Space (TARIS) is found to significantly exceed the Tissue Aging Rate on Earth (TAROE), the initiative intends to establish a high-throughput, autonomous drug screening platform in LEO to make biomedical research and development more cost-effective and faster than Earth-based methods. The project is structured into two sequential phases: a 27-month Phase I focused on establishing and validating microphysiological systems (MPS) to quantify aging rates, and a 15-month Phase II dedicated to developing age-related pathology models for pro-regenerative drug testing. Key requirements include the use of MPS or organoids for at least 75 percent of experimental samples, the creation of LEO twin experiments, and the establishment of a contractual partnership with at least one Fortune 100 biopharmaceutical company. The program schedule spans FY27 through FY30 and includes two planned space launches in months 39 and 41. Awards will be granted via multiple Other Transaction (OT) Agreements to the most advantageous proposers, including universities, non-profits, and businesses. Evaluation is based primarily on the innovation and feasibility of the technical approach, the potential to transform biomedicine, and the team's expertise in managing costs and schedules. Proposers must adhere to strict administrative requirements, including the BIOSECURE Act, NIH Genomic Data Sharing policies, and specific research security and cybersecurity disclosures. Full proposals are due by October 7, 2026.

BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT - BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND DIVING EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT
Solicitation # N0002427S0001
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is soliciting pre-proposals and full proposals through Broad Agency Announcement N00024-27-S-0001 for applied biomedical research and diving equipment development. The program focuses on enhancing diver health, safety, and performance, advancing deep diving capabilities, and optimizing submariner survivability during disabled submarine events. Key areas of interest include improving breathing gas supplies, human performance mitigations for oxygen toxicity and narcosis, environmental protection, decompression models, and the development of tools for underwater communication and tracking. Additionally, the program seeks innovations in submarine escape and rescue, specifically regarding atmospheric assessment, thermal stress mitigation, and the care of rescue casualties. The solicitation utilizes a two-phase selection process. For Fiscal Year 2028, pre-proposals are due by November 30, 2026, with full proposals due by March 30, 2027. For Fiscal Year 2029, pre-proposals are due by November 30, 2027, with full proposals due by March 30, 2028. While there is no mandatory budget ceiling, historical awards average around 300,000 dollars annually, and projects typically span two to three years. Submissions are evaluated based on innovation, scientific merit, relevance to Navy operations, affordability, and the likelihood of success. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and comply with specific regulations regarding human and animal research if applicable.

UNifying Imaging with QUantum Entanglement (UNIQUE) Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO)
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-162
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has issued Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO) ARPA-H-SOL-26-162 for the UNifying Imaging with QUantum Entanglement (UNIQUE) Program. This merit-based solicitation seeks to develop new biomedical imaging capabilities by exploring quantum-derived observables, such as photon correlation signatures and positronium-sensitive interactions, to reveal biological information invisible to current imaging technologies. The agency anticipates awarding multiple Other Transaction (OT) Agreements to proposers who can demonstrate highly innovative and feasible technical approaches. The submission process is divided into two stages, with solution summaries due October 30, 2026, and full proposals due by December 15, 2026. Full proposals must be submitted via the ARPA-H Solutions portal in three volumes: Technical and Management, Cost, and Administrative and Policy Requirements. Evaluation is based on technical innovation and feasibility, proposer capabilities, relevance to the ARPA-H mission, and cost. For-profit organizations that are not small businesses under NAICS 541714 are required to provide a meaningful cost share. Strict compliance is required regarding research security, including disclosures of foreign influence and prohibitions on participation in Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs. Additionally, the program excludes proposals that offer only incremental improvements or utilize human embryos or fetal tissue. Awardees will be expected to provide monthly status reports and participate in semi-annual in-person review meetings, with all key personnel expected to be onboard within 60 days of the award.

Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-137
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office has issued solicitation DARPA-PS-26-137 for the Firefox program, which aims to develop a 100-channel, non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) featuring 50-micron spatial and 100-microsecond temporal resolution. The program is divided into two primary technical areas: the development of components for dynamic rastering and scanning of coherent optical signals to target multiple regions of interest, and the creation of data processing architectures beyond the digital domain to manage high data rates and computational burdens. This 36-month effort is structured across three phases, with anticipated funding for multiple awards ranging between 4 million and 7 million dollars. The procurement is conducted as an Other Transaction for Prototype, utilizing a model agreement rather than standard FAR clauses, though it requires CMMC Level 1 self-assessment for safeguarding federal contract information. The selection process is based on a two-step submission: an initial abstract due October 19, 2026, followed by an invitation to submit an Oral Presentation Proposal (OPP) package by November 9, 2026. Proposals are evaluated as selectable or non-selectable based on the innovation and feasibility of the technical approach, relevant qualifications of the personnel, and the practicality of the budget. Performance is measured against specific technical metrics, such as a 10 ms full volume scan rate in Phase 2, with payments tied to a 16-milestone schedule and processed via the Wide Area Workflow system.

UNifying Imaging with QUantum Entanglement (UNIQUE) Proposers' Day
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SN-26-162
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), through its Health Science Futures Office, has issued Special Notice ARPA-H-SN-26-162 to announce the UNifying Imaging with QUantum Entanglement (UNIQUE) program. This initiative aims to establish a new biomedical imaging paradigm by utilizing quantum-derived observables, specifically entangled or quantum-correlated 511 keV photon pairs, to reveal disease biology that is currently invisible to existing technologies. The program is divided into two primary technical areas: the Imaging Core, which focuses on the physical systems and detectors required to generate and measure quantum-derived imaging contrast, and Quantum AI Interpretation and Fusion, which focuses on developing AI-driven reconstruction methods to integrate these observables into multidimensional imaging representations. This special notice serves as an informational alert and does not constitute a formal solicitation. It announces a hybrid Proposers Day scheduled for October 15, 2026, to prepare the scientific community for an upcoming Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO) expected by September 18, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to submit a single capability slide via the UNIQUE Teaming Profile Form by September 22, 2026, to participate in lightning talks during the event. Technical inquiries are directed to Program Manager Wilfred Ngwa at UNIQUE@arpa-h.gov.
