Autism changes across a lifetime. Care has to keep up.

In a new @statnews interview, SPECTRA PM Russell Shilling shares how ARPA-H’s SPECTRA program is breaking down research silos to pursue more precise, individualized support.

As the father of two autistic children, he knows the stakes firsthand.

I thought this was a fun behavioral science meets Feynman discussion!

ARPA-H is looking for health visionaries.

Deeply technical. Big vision.

Stuck in a role that’s too small for what you want to build?

Autism is a diverse group of conditions related to brain development.

Signs can emerge in early childhood, yet many people remain undiagnosed for years.

@WHO stresses that early understanding and the right support can make a meaningful difference.

We are looking for the best proposals in research and in technology solutions! Take a look!

[ARPA-H @ARPA_H]

Autism doesn’t follow one pattern. Care can’t follow one playbook.

ARPA-H just launched SPECTRA to bring precision to autism diagnosis and care.

SPECTRA will turn biology, data, and real-world signals into earlier diagnosis and more tailored support — while building tools that support quality of like beyond the clinic.

We’re recruiting teams across genetics, AI, neuroscience, diagnostics, therapeutics, and assistive tech.

@DanHolbrook That's a big image!!

Brilliant tech trapped in the lab is just expensive research.

ARPA-H helps small businesses make the leap from lab to care.

At our small business awardee kickoff, founders met investors, experts, and partners who can push their technologies forward.

Great science is only the start. ARPA-H turns small business speed into health breakthroughs.

Excited to announce the launch of the CSLib Initiative! This will do for CS what Mathlib is doing for math, and enable formal verification of software. Thanks to @coeff_giving for their support. I hope other funders will also support it, and help us formalize other fields.

Pleased to have co-authored this chapter on #AI Conversational Agents for Mental Health. A good summary of my 17 years experience across DoD & DARPA.

⏰ REST proposers: the deadline is almost here.

Sleep disorders strike millions, fueling chronic disease, lost productivity, and diminished lives.

ARPA-H’s REST program is reinventing sleep medicine—shifting from basic tracking to full measurement, diagnosis, and intervention.

Solution Summaries due August 12.
