Technology InteGrator and AcceleratoR (TIGAR)

The ARPA‑H solicitation ARPA‑H‑SOL‑26‑144 seeks Technology Integrator and Accelerator (TIGAR) proposals that advance novel, high‑impact solutions aligned with ARPA‑H’s mission. Offerors must submit a conforming, ≤10‑page technical proposal (plus unlimited supplemental sections) that includes a clear project synopsis, goals, Gantt‑chart timeline, technical plan, risk‑mitigation strategy, management approach, and a detailed cost justification not to exceed $2 million in total ARPA‑H funding. The submission must demonstrate the team’s expertise, relevant experience, and a compelling commercial market use case, while addressing intellectual‑property rights, cybersecurity, biosecurity, and any required human or vertebrate‑animal subject research compliance. Additional mandatory certifications cover eligibility, conflict‑of‑interest (including foreign talent recruitment), unpaid delinquent tax liability, and felony disclosures; proposals lacking any required element may be deemed non‑conforming and rejected. Unique requirements include a novelty statement (confirming the work has not been submitted elsewhere), full disclosure of current and pending support per 42 U.S.C. 6605, a resource‑sharing plan (cash or in‑kind contributions), and an optional value‑proposition/ROI analysis for taxpayers. Cost assessments will be evaluated for reasonableness relative to the technical approach, and the IP structure must support potential commercialization and adherence to open‑source standards. Proposals must remain valid for at least 120 days and may include sub‑awardees who must submit a separate cost‑proposal workbook.
