This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announces the renewal of the NIH Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) program, established to facilitate and accelerate the translation of academic biomedical discoveries into products that improve patient care and public health. Through this program, NIH will provide the qualifying institutions with the funds to seed the creation of academic entrepreneurship Hubs. Hubs will be responsible for providing innovators with both the initial investment and resources to support the proof-of-concept work and the mentorship in product development and commercialization needed to develop high priority technologies within the NIH's mission. Funded Hubs are intended to work as a consortium to enable: (1) the infrastructure for identifying the most promising technologies, (2) funding for product definition studies (e.g. feasibility studies, prototype development, proof-of-concept studies) provided to individual researchers, (3) access to resources and expertise in areas required for early stage technology development (including scientific, regulatory, reimbursement, business, legal, and project management), and (4) skills development and hands-on experience in entrepreneurship. Establishing public-private partnerships and providing additional non-federal funds will be critical for success. This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Limited Competition that will invite applications from eligible organizations to apply. Please see Section III. Eligibility for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application(s) will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious application(s) will be considered for funding.

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.

Request for Information on Feasibility of Annual Reporting of Live Vertebrate Animal Numbers
Solicitation # NOT-OD-27-001
The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare is seeking input from domestic and foreign institutions regarding the feasibility of implementing yearly reporting for the number of live, vertebrate animals subject to the PHS Policy. The goal is to align reporting standards for animals not covered by the Animal Welfare Act with those that are, specifically by requiring annual animal numbers and USDA pain and distress categories. This proposed requirement would apply to all live vertebrate species, excluding those used in field investigations, and the resulting reports would be made available to the public online. Interested institutions are asked to provide feedback on their current tracking capabilities, the resources and budget required for implementation, and any potential burdens or benefits associated with this change. Responses must be submitted electronically by December 21, 2026. This request is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for applications or a government obligation for funding.
