The USC Office of Research & Innovation’s ARPA-H Planning Award is meant to support the configuration of research teams among USC faculty interested in applying to ARPA-H. The award will equip researchers with the skills needed to successfully build multidisciplinary, cross-institution research networks and apply for funding from ARPA-H. This program will support the means by which investigators can share information and ideas; plan the myriad of activities necessary for the development of a research proposal; coordinate ongoing or planned research activities; foster synthesis and new collaborations; develop community standards; and in other ways advance science and education through communication and sharing of ideas. ARPA-H Planning Awards bring together a team of researchers to plan and organize efforts to enable the submission of a grant proposal to ARPA-H.
