Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST)
ARPA-H is seeking proposals for the REST program, which aims to transform poor sleep measurement and treatment through objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies that detect health-relevant sleep microstructures and respond in real time. If successful, REST would establish the technical foundation for objective, personalized sleep-health technologies that improve long-term health outcomes at scale. A series of amendments from June 16 through October 5 updated the ISO, including success metrics, key program milestones, proposal requirements, templates, and expected pitch-session dates. Amendment 6 restructured the process into Solution Summaries, Proposals, and Pitches, with review/evaluation bases of encourage/discourage, invite/not invited, and selected for negotiation/not selected, respectively. Later amendments revised the proposal template and cost proposal workbook guidance, with prior workbook versions remaining acceptable.
