Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) launched the PROSPR (Proactive Solutions for Prolonging Resilience) Program to address the healthspan of Americans, focusing on preventing age-related diseases.[2] It seeks to revolutionize the understanding and treatment of aging by developing new therapies and technologies to extend healthspan.
Goals
- Identify biochemical and physiological markers of early health changes during aging.
- Develop assessment technologies to better understand and target the underlying causes of age-related diseases.
- Create and test therapies that aim to extend healthspan and prevent the onset of age-related conditions.
- Reduce healthcare costs associated with aging by promoting longer periods of health.
Organization
PROSPR is managed by ARPA-H, with program oversight by ARPA-H Program Managers. It collaborates with various sectors including academia, industry, and other stakeholders.[1] Funding for PROSPR comes from ARPA-H's budget, which is part of the broader federal health research funding.
The leader of the program holds the position of **Program Manager**.
History
PROSPR was initiated in 2024 as part of ARPA-H's efforts to focus on health innovations that could significantly impact public health, particularly in aging.[2] The program was established in response to the growing need for solutions to increase healthspan amidst an aging population. It builds upon the foundational work by the National Institute on Aging and leverages ARPA-H's mission to drive transformative health research.
Funding
While the specific initial funding for PROSPR isn't publicly detailed, it is part of ARPA-H's annual budget. Funding for ARPA-H, including programs like PROSPR, comes from congressional appropriations. There's no public information on an end to funding, indicating its ongoing status as a program.[1]
Implementation
PROSPR operates by soliciting proposals from across the research community, focusing on areas like biomarker discovery, technology development for health assessment, and therapeutic development. The program does not have a defined end date, as it aims to continually push forward healthspan research. Implementation includes phases such as proposal submission, review, funding awards, and project execution with periodic assessments.[1]
