Full Description

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by supporting partnerships between academic (or small business) investigators and one or more industrial partner(s) for translational development of a diagnostic test that has demonstrated proof-of-concept. Novel diagnostics are needed to implement treatment strategies, evaluate vaccines and identify infectious disease outbreaks, but too often, early diagnostic breakthroughs are not being translated into successful commercial products. Investigators often develop promising diagnostics but then face barriers when navigating the process towards commercialization. The goal is to align investigators with experienced industry partners early in the development process, to enable early de-risking and ensure that the end-product will be fit for purpose. A science advisory board together with NIAID oversight will help maintain the focus of projects. Annual meetings and workshops will foster collaborations and knowledge exchange with biotech/industry developers, and other investigators in the early diagnostic space. This partnership concept aligns with NIH’s mission to support the translation of the most promising diagnostic technologies to better treat and prevent infectious diseases. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.

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.

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.
