Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-159

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Proactive Health Office has issued solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-159 for the Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST) program. This initiative aims to transform the measurement and treatment of poor sleep, specifically insomnia, by developing objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies. The program focuses on detecting and responding to sleep microstructures in real time to improve long-term health outcomes, moving away from traditional macrostructure measures like sleep duration. The scope is divided into two technical areas: Measure and Diagnose (TA1), which focuses on in-home diagnostic systems using objective physiological signals, and Control and Treat (TA2), which focuses on noninvasive, adaptive intervention systems. The program is structured as a 66-month effort spanning three phases: proving the core technical thesis, demonstrating a proof-of-concept, and achieving clinical translation and commercialization. Awards will be granted via Other Transaction (OT) instruments, with payments tied to a quarterly milestone schedule. Evaluation is based on scientific merit, feasibility, innovation, and proposer capabilities, with specific success metrics tied to Polysomnography (PSG) fidelity and diagnostic accuracy. Proposers must submit a Solution Summary by August 12, 2026, and selected candidates will proceed to a full proposal process involving a technical pitch and detailed documentation. The final proposal deadline is October 13, 2026. Requirements include active SAM.gov registration, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for human subjects research, and a comprehensive FDA regulatory strategy.
