About this file

This is an Eligibility and Conformance Certification Sheet for the ARPA-H COSMOS (Comprehensive Organ System Modeling in Outer Space) Innovative Solutions Opening (ARPA-H-SOL-26-165). The document serves as a checklist template for prospective bidders to certify their proposal compliance with specific technical and programmatic requirements.

Proposers must verify that 75% of experimental samples utilize microphysiological systems (MPS) for Phases I and II, address donor heterogeneity requirements through dedicated planning and budgeting, and select a single organ system from heart, brain, uterus, kidney, or other. The certification requires documentation of planned -omics approaches for validating Phase I experiments and confirmation of technical capacity to create and maintain up to 384 MPS units simultaneously, with 192 designated for spaceflight in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) twin experiment. Proposals must incorporate specific biomarker and modeling components, including two tissue-agnostic and two tissue-specific biomarkers of aging, at least two age-related biological pathways, biomarkers of tissue integrity, and an optically clear chip design. Additionally, proposers must describe in silico modeling based on extant aging data for their selected organ, integration of terrestrial data into the TAROE alpha or TARIS alpha model, and final variance analysis between LEO-flown and terrestrial control cells. The sheet also requires confirmation that proposals identify a prospective list of biopharma partners relevant to the selected tissue type. This template applies to the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health solicitation for multiple Other Transaction awards.
