II. INTRODUCTION

ARPA-H will host a NITRO Proposers’ Day with the following objectives:

• Provide information about the Program to potential proposers, including details about the overall Program goals, abstract and full proposal structure for the corresponding BAA, and how they might respond to ARPA-H’s solicitation.

• Share the intended scope, timeline, and scale of the NITRO Program and how the proposers, in collaboration with the ARPA-H team and resources, can accomplish Program objectives.

• Encourage and facilitate teaming arrangements between potential proposers to achieve program goals.

Participation in this event is not a requirement for submission of an abstract, full proposal, or selection for funding. Additionally, all briefing information will be posted to www.SAM.gov after the event.

This event is not open to the press.

A. Lightning Talks

Participants are invited to submit (1) PDF Lightning Talk slide/s that summarize their interests and capabilities (at the time of registration). Selected* proposers will have 3-minutes maximum to present their slide/s to the Government and all participants. Submitted lightning talks consisting of multiple slides or a single slide with multiple layers will not be granted a time slot if it appears clear the talk cannot be completed within 3 minutes. Only one lightning talk per organization will be allowed. Lightning talks from different departments within the same organization will be considered.

Interested attendees must identify their intention to present a Lightning Talk during registration by uploading the PDF slide.

*Lightning talk submissions will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, until the maximum possible number of submissions given the time constraint for the event is reached.

B. Teaming Profiles ARPA-H believes teaming will be necessary to achieve the goals of the NITRO Program. To facilitate teaming, ARPA-H has created a Teaming page within its website. Interested parties are invited to complete a Teaming Profile via the link provided in the Registration form.

Participants are advised that all Teaming Profile information will be viewable to the public on the ARPA-H website (through the link).

Specific content, communications, networking, and team formation are the sole responsibility of participants. ARPA-H does not endorse any participating organization or exercise any responsibility for improper dissemination of the team profiles.

C. Sidebars A limited number of sidebar meetings will be available to participants. These are private meetings between the potential proposer and Government representatives. Sidebar meetings must be scheduled in advance via the registration website.

Once capacity has been reached, participants will be added to a waitlist. If slots become available due to cancellations, the slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis from the waitlist.
