An Innovation Ecosystem to Fuel ARPA-H Research
A culture of collaboration between top industries in Massachusetts will allow ARPA-H to recruit program managers and other skilled talent from a broad range of dynamic, innovative scientific areas. MA is a convergence hub for cross-disciplinary innovation in data science, engineering, and basic sciences, and is home to other successful federal collaborations such as MITRE National Security Engineering Center, NIIMBL (National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals), and the Lincoln Laboratory at MIT.
