The Department of Health and Human Services’ Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-H) has released a draft solicitation for applicants to the Health Care Rewards to Achieve Improved Outcomes (HEROES) program, which will evaluate a new payment model to incentivize community-based interventions to improve health outcomes in a geographic area. The agency anticipates releasing a final solicitation by April 22, with abstracts from interested applicants due by June 17. The model will offer participating non-profit organizations, consortiums and others direct payments to reduce specific health harms in an area. For more on the HEROES program, register to attend a March 26 or April 2 webinar.
