"ARPA-H Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
ARPA-H Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards is sponsored by Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). ARPA-H offers SBIR awards for innovative health research and development projects. While specific topics vary, they aim to support transformative ideas.
Given ARPA-H's broad mission in health, a maternal health implantable biosensor medical device could be a strong candidate, especially if it represents a significant advancement in health technology. One open topic, 'Development of an annual test to inform women about their future fertility' indicates an interest in women's health innovation.
