Parties interested in submitting a proposal in response to the ARPA-H HEARING ISO are required (mandatory) to submit a solution summary. No awards will be made, or funding provided as a result of solution summary submissions.
The Proposers' Day event will take place in Arlington, VA. The event is intended to facilitate teaming and foster a greater understanding of the HEARING Program.
The HEARING Program aims to develop artificially intelligent neurotechnology for hearing enhancement. It is structured in three phases: Phase 1 (Research and Development, 18 months), Phase 2 (Pre-Clinical, 24 months), and Phase 3 (Clinical, 12 months). The program includes multiple Technical Areas and requires proposers to address metrics, milestones, and deliverables as outlined in the Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO). The source text also details submission requirements including a mandatory solution summary and full proposal evaluations based on overall scientific and technical merit, proposer capabilities, contribution to ARPA-H mission, and proposed cost/price.
