(like DARPA but under Health & Human Services)
Federal investment is the fastest, most effective way to de-risk the marketplace. HARPA will disrupt the health technology sector to drive meaningful innovation that will save millions of lives and billions of dollars.

HARPA is modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the gold-standard for innovation and accountability. DARPA makes critical investments in breakthrough technologies for national security. It developed The Internet, Voice Recognition Technology, GPS navigation, Night vision, Robotic Prostheses, Stealth Technology.

DARPA’s success proves there is an effective government model for translating science to product. There is currently no vehicle within the federal government to do this for health.

HARPA’s identical operating principles, built on urgency, leadership, high-impact investments and accountability, will advance scientific research from the lab to the patient.

HARPA will work within an innovation ecosystem that leverages the best of the commercial market, biotech and healthcare companies, venture capital and philanthropy, academic institutions and other government and regulatory agencies.
