ARPA-H to fund behavioral health projects through new initiative
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health announced Nov. 21 that it will fund up to $100 million in projects for quantitative measures of mental and behavioral health through its new Evidence-Based Validation & Innovation for Rapid Therapeutics in Behavioral Health initiative. The program will focus on data regarding individual clinical outcomes and patient response to novel treatments. ARPA-H said it is seeking multimodal, longitudinal data collected in clinical trials testing the effects of rapid behavioral health interventions. The agency said the awards will be actively managed contracts, where continuation would be contingent upon satisfactory performance reviews.
