Opinion: Created correctly, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health will accelerate medical innovation
The U.S. needs a bold initiative to achieve transformative progress in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and countless other diseases that cut lives short or hold them back. The best way to do this is by building on the incredible scientific discoveries emerging from, or funded by, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and from the nation’s biotech and pharmaceutical research centers.
The bold proposal by President Biden to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is the right kind of endeavor at the right time to give a new dimension to medical research and propel faster application of breakthrough innovations.
