The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) is soliciting commercial fishers to participate in the On-Demand Gear Grant and Research Program for the 2026 fixed-gear closure season. This initiative focuses on the use of on-demand gear and virtual marking technology within the Massachusetts Restricted Area (MRA) and South Island Restricted Area (SIRA), specifically covering Statistical Reporting Areas 1 through 12, 16, 17, and 19. The program is structured as a cost-reimbursement grant, offering up to 35,000 dollars for fixed gear fishers and up to 6,000 dollars for mobile gear fishers. Eligible expenses include the purchase and installation of on-demand gear, through-hull transducers, satellite communication systems, monthly satellite service costs for up to four months, data receiving devices, and related software subscriptions. To qualify, fixed gear applicants must have held a 2025 Massachusetts Commercial Lobster Permit, while mobile gear applicants must have held a 2025 Massachusetts Commercial Fishing Permit; both must renew these permits by February 28, 2026. Participants are required to acquire and use on-demand technology and submit monthly performance reports and questionnaires. Fixed gear participants must also operate under a recognized Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) or Letter of Authorization (LOA). Preference for selection is given to vessels with a documented history of fishing in the MRA or SIRA prior to the 2015 and 2021 closures. Applications must be submitted via email to the MA DMF, with a final response deadline of November 30, 2026.

Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST)
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.
