ARPA-H-SOL-26-144_TIGAR ISO_Appendices_Amendment 3.zip

This file is an amendment package (Amendment 3) to the Solicitation Appendices for ARPA-H-SOL-26-144, the Technology InteGrator and AcceleratoR (TIGAR) program issued by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. Amendment 3 made minor administrative updates to remove track changes from Appendix B and correct an erroneous comment in Appendix C.4. The TIGAR Exploratory Topic seeks enabling technologies to unlock temperature-flexible storage for regenerative tissues and organs through solutions involving new materials, artificial intelligence/machine learning, high-throughput screening, biological interventions, devices, processing methods, analytical technology, and packaging approaches. The program prioritizes strategies that reduce reliance on strictly controlled temperature zones, establish shelf-life stability at non-cryogenic temperatures, and address deployment in thick tissues rather than cellular-level innovations alone.

Prior amendments included instructions for submitting a Solution Video (Amendment 2), simplified template instructions for supplemental slides with an added Cost Summary slide, clarification of "Phase" terminology in cost documentation, and replacement of the Administration and National Policy document. Amendment 1 updated webinar and registration dates for the Proposer's Day event. The appendices include standardized formats for video submissions with caption requirements, supplemental presentation templates, cost summary guidance, and federal compliance documentation. Additional information regarding the TIGAR initiative and Proposer's Day registration can be found at https://arpa-h.gov/explore-funding/initiatives-and-sprints/tigar and in Special Notice ARPA-H-SN-26-142.
