SOLUTION SUMMARY TEMPLATE

Use of this template is required for solution summaries submitted to this Solicitation

NOTE: All submissions must be written in English with 12-point Avenir Next LT Pro Light font. Font sizes of 8 or 10 point Avenir Next LT Pro Light font may be used for figures, tables, and charts.

Instructions and Content recommendations are displayed in blue font and should be deleted prior to solution summary submission.

Proposers are strongly required to submit a Solution Summary in advance of a full proposal. If a Proposer chooses to submit to multiple TAs, the proposer should submit a combined solution summary.

The total length of the Solution Summary should not exceed 3 pages, if submitting to one TA. If the proposer is submitting to multiple TAs, the max page count should not exceed 6 pages regardless if submitting to 2 or 3, TAs. Please upload only one document to https://solutions.arpa-h.gov/ when submitting a Solution Summary response.

The Solution Summary should be prepared according to the following outline:

Section 1: Summary of Concept [Describe the concept with minimal jargon and explain how it addresses the technical area(s) of the ARPA-H PRECISE-AI Solicitation].

Section 2: Innovation and Impact* [For the overall program clearly identify the outcome(s) sought and/or the problem(s) to be solved with the proposed integrated approach. Describe how the proposed effort represents an innovative and potentially revolutionary solution to the technical challenges posed under the ARPA-H PRECISE-AI Solicitation. Explain the concept’s potential to be disruptive compared to existing or emerging technologies and how the proposed approach will go far beyond current commercial capabilities. To the extent possible, provide quantitative metrics in a table that compares the proposed technology concept to current and emerging technologies and includes:

· State of the art / emerging technology “baseline.”

· Key technical challenges in the approach and the plan to overcome these issues.

· How long will it take and how much will it cost?

· Who will care and what will be the impact if the proposed technology concept is successful?

· Summary of specific outcomes from the proposed research.] *Note for TA5 Proposers: Technical innovation for TA5 is welcomed but may not be needed. Rather, statistical soundness and clinical relevance is of key importance, with the ultimate goal of improving final outcomes for the program at large. TA5 proposers should write Section 2 accordingly.

Section 3: Proposed Work [Describe the final deliverable(s) for the project, one or two key interim milestones, and the overall technical approach used to achieve project objectives. Discuss alternative approaches considered, if any, and why the proposed approach is most appropriate for the project objectives. Describe the background, theory, simulation, modeling, experimental data, or other sound engineering and scientific practices or principles that support the proposed approach. Provide specific examples of supporting data and/or appropriate citations to the scientific and technical literature. Identify adoption challenges to be overcome for the proposed technology to be successful. Describe why the proposed effort is a significant technical challenge and the key technical risks to the ARPA-H PRECISE-AI project. At a minimum, the solution summary should address:

· Does the approach require one or more entirely new technical developments to succeed?

· How will technical risk be mitigated?]

Section 4: Team Organization and Capabilities [Provide a summary of the team’s expertise, resources, and organization:

· Describe roles and responsibilities within the team (prime and subcontractors) and identify the organization leading each TA (if/as applicable).

· Identify key personnel, and provide no more than 5 single-page, key personnel resumes (as a separate attachment) for the identified individuals (resumes will not count against the page limit).

· Describe the organizational experience in each technical area (if/as applicable) and existing IP required to complete the project.

· List government-furnished equipment, property, facilities, and/or data assumed to be available.

· List any specialized facilities to be used as part of the program.

· If desired, 1 page bibliography (as a separate attachment) with links to relevant papers, reports or articles may be provided (bibliography will not count against the page limit).]

Section 5: Basis of Estimate (BOE) (not included in the page limit) [Please include a BOE pertaining to the federal funds requested, as well as the total project cost including resource sharing, if applicable. The BOE should also include a breakdown of the work by direct labor (fully burdened[footnoteRef:2]), labor hours, subawards, materials, equipment, other direct costs (e.g., travel), profit (as applicable), resource sharing, and any other relevant costs. The below table may be used for this breakdown. [2: Fully burdened direct labor rates include both direct wages/rates and indirect rates/costs such as General & Administrative (G&A), Overhead, Fringe Benefits, Material and Subcontracting handling rates, as applicable. ]

If proposing to multiple TAs, the proposer should provide a summary table for the total effort, and a table for each TA.
