A coalition of 122 organizations, including AIBS, has sent a letter to House and Senate appropriators requesting at least $1.7 billion for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) in fiscal year (FY) 2027 — a $200 million increase over FY 2026.
“Since its creation less than four years ago, ARPA-H has launched dozens of programs, funded over 200 projects, and built a network of over 1,800 health innovation partners across the nation,” the letter reads. “Growing the agency’s budget by providing a $200 million increase over FY 2026 enacted levels will allow ARPA-H to continue its forward momentum on developing breakthrough technologies and approaches to meet the nation’s continuing health challenges.”
