Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program

Solicitation # 7599226SN106

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is soliciting proposals from small business concerns (SBCs) through its Fiscal Year 2026 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. This total small business set-aside initiative aims to stimulate technological innovation and increase private sector commercialization of high-impact health solutions. Eligible SBCs must be organized for profit in the United States and have no more than 500 employees. The program is structured in two primary phases: Phase I focuses on feasibility and typically has a one-year period of performance, while Phase II involves full research and development with a heavy emphasis on commercialization activities, including regulatory objectives and market strategies. The solicitation covers seven specific research topics: developing an annual fertility test for women, creating versatile bioadhesives, building a universal synthetic biology platform for toxin removal, developing non-surgical therapies for endometriosis, advancing ARPA-H lineage technologies, creating rapid diagnostics for multi-system autoimmune diseases, and developing a virtual human brain for neurosurgical robotics. The application process is a two-stage submission via the ARPA-H Solutions site. Stage 1 requires a solution summary, with additional feasibility or commercialization statements for Direct-to-Phase II or Fast Track applicants. Invited proposers move to Stage 2, which requires a cost proposal, a Task Description Document, a Gantt chart, and a technical presentation limited to 16 slides. Awards are based on a selectability determination where strengths must outweigh weaknesses across factors including technical merit, novelty, team experience, and path to impact. Funding is managed through fixed payment milestones based on the government's acceptance of deliverables. Proposers must maintain active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity Identifier. Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding is available, capped at $6,500 for Phase I and $50,000 for Phase II.
