ARPA-H is seeking innovative solutions for the Technology Integrator and Accelerator (TIGAR) exploratory topic, aiming to develop technologies for temperature-flexible storage of regenerative tissues and organs. Solutions may involve new materials, AI/ML, screening methods, devices, and packaging. The effort focuses on stabilizing biological systems and reducing reliance on strictly controlled temperatures. Proposals should demonstrate feasibility within an 18-month period of performance, with a downselect at the end of phase 1. The total ARPA-H funding requested must not exceed $2 million USD over 18 months. Two intake groups are available for submissions, with deadlines for solution videos and full proposals in June/August 2026 and December 2026/February 2027, respectively. The ISO closing date is February 5, 2027. Proposers must be registered in SAM. gov. ARPA-H encourages resource sharing and creative approaches to return on investment.
The ISO closing date is February 5, 2027, 11:59 pm ET. There are two intake groups with earlier deadlines for solution videos and full proposals.
Performers will be required to submit invoices for payment through the Payment Management Services (PMS) portal. Invoices must include a justification for the TIGAR program and accepted milestones.
Full proposals will be evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, proposer capabilities and experience, contribution to the ARPA-H mission and user experience, and assessment of proposed cost/price.
Eligible proposers include universities, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and other commercial entities. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and government entities are generally not eligible as prime or sub-performers. Proposers must be registered in SAM. gov.
