ARPA-H Spokes

The OHRP is thrilled to announce that we’ve been selected as a spoke of the ARPA-H Investor Catalyst Hub network. We are excited to be a part of this nationwide network dedicated to accelerating groundbreaking advances in science and medicine—all in pursuit of better health outcomes for everyone.

As an Investor Catalyst Hub spoke, the University of Montana gains access to potential funding and flexible contracting for faster award execution compared to traditional government contracts. Spokemembership also offers opportunities to provide input on ARPA-H challenge areas and priorities, along with access to valuable networking opportunities and a robust resource library.

In addition to being an Investor Catalyst Hub spoke, the University of Montana is also a spoke of the Customer Experience Hub. The ARPA-H Customer Experience Hub is part of ARPANET-H, a network focused on patient-centered healthcare. By incorporating user feedback throughout the design process, the Hub aims to ensure ARPA-H innovations are accessible, desirable, and effectively adopted by all Americans. This will involve user testing, rapid prototyping, and exploring new clinical trial methods.
