What this contract is for

Amendment 02 extends the proposal due date and provides revisions to Appendix A_Program and Technical Description and Appendix E_Draft Model OT Agreement, as highlighted in yellow. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amendment 01 adds Appendix E_Draft Model OT Agreement and provides revisions to Appendix B_Solution Summary Format and Instructions, as highlighted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARPA-H intends to host a hybrid Proposers Day in early June in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Additional information will be posted when it becomes availiable. The Intelligent Generator of Research (IGoR) program aims to eliminate longstanding inefficiencies in research and accelerate the development of effective therapies for complex diseases by creating an AI-enabled interoperable research ecosystem. IGoR would develop: 1) mechanistic disease models that encode causal biological relationships across scales, 2) an AI orchestration layer that identifies knowledge gaps and designs optimal experiments, 3) a layered protocol architecture that enables any qualified laboratory to execute the same experiment reproducibly, and 4) a distributed marketplace of validated laboratories that execute standardized protocols and return gold-standard data. Together, these components form a cycle of hypothesis generation, experimentation, and model refinement that enables researchers to create validated knowledge at least 10x more rapidly than conventional approaches. Ultimately, IGoR will empower researchers at every level to pursue bold, unconventional research directions that are currently too slow, too complex, or too resource?intensive.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
