REST_Proposal Templates.zip

This file is a proposal templates package for the REST (Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time) program solicitation. The templates are designed to support offerors in preparing their responses to ARPA-H Solicitation Number ARPA-H-SOL-26-159. The REST program seeks proposals for objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies that detect health-relevant sleep microstructures and respond to them in real time. The templates provide standardized formats for submission across multiple proposal stages: Solution Summaries (reviewed on an encourage/discourage basis), full Proposals (evaluated on an invite/not invited basis), and Pitches (evaluated on a selected for negotiation/not selected basis). This represents a multi-stage evaluation process established through Amendment 6 to the solicitation.

The templates support the technical objectives outlined in the solicitation, which include Technical Area 1 (TA1) success metrics and alignment with key program milestones. Offerors should use these templates to structure their technical approaches, resource plans, and management strategies in compliance with Section 4.4 Proposal Requirements, which was modified in Amendment 8. The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), operating under the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, manages this solicitation. As a template file rather than a substantive solicitation document, it provides formatting guidance and organizational structure rather than specific technical requirements or detailed evaluation criteria.
