Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)\The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H): Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT)- Solution Summary

A summary is required to submit a full proposal.

Aim: to restore brain tissue, enabling individuals with brain damage to recover cognitive functions. The program seeks to develop methods to make non-specialized cells form into normal tissue. After these cells are grafted, FRONT will measure how well they integrate with the surrounding healthy neocortex tissue, proper layered structure of normal cortical tissue, and functional recovery. The goal of the program is to alleviate the personal and financial burdens of previously ‘permanent’ brain damage. The total funding or size of each award will not be disclosed. Multiple awards are anticipated, based on proposal quality and available funds.
