On May 21, 2018, HARPA (Health Advanced Research Projects Agency) was first publicly proposed on Fox Business News by Bob Wright and Geoff Ling [https://www.harpa.org/news/2018/6/22/bob-wright-dr-geoffrey-ling-on-fox-business]. In April 2020, Ling co-wrote with Michael Stebbins the proposal for the creation this new federal agency modeled on DARPA, but focused on health. That [https://www.dayoneproject.org/ideas/creating-the-health-advanced-research-projects-agency-harpa/ proposal] was adopted by then former Vice-President Biden's presidential campaign and published on line as part of the Day One Project. It became the model used to establish the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). Provided by Wikipedia
