PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Consulate General Osaka-Kobe, in partnership with the U.S. Embassy Tokyo Public Affairs Section and the U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Department of State, announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out the 2025 Young Trilateral Leaders (YTL) networks United States-Republic of Korea-Japan Trilateral Global Leadership Youth Summit, to be held in the Summer of 2025 in the Kansai region of Japan (potential host cities include Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto, among others). In the face of growing security, trade, financial, and environmental instability in the Indo-Pacific region, the trilateral relationship between the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea has never been more important. This program will build upon the inaugural 2024 Trilateral Global Leadership Youth Summit held in Busan, Republic of Korea. This series of programs aims to build the expertise in strategic issues of youth from the United States and their peers from two of our closest allies and to provide them with a platform through which to regularly meet and engage on global issues. Priority Region(s): Japan, Republic of Korea Program Objectives: The Summit will focus on developing the leadership skills and global outlook of a cohort of approximately 50 youth leaders. Participants should have demonstrated leadership abilities, a track record of engagement in their communities, and the capacity to collaborate with peers from other nations. We will also leverage the expertise of youth leaders from similar USG-sponsored youth leadership initiatives such as the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) and the Young Pacific Leaders (YPL) Program to ensure young people in East Asia understand broader regional issues and how youth have successfully worked together in other areas of the Indo-Pacific. This Youth Summit is a key pillar of the Young Trilateral Leaders (YTL) network, a regional youth initiative that creates space for young leaders to make meaningful contributions to trilateral policy discussions. YTL fosters a tight-knit network of young leaders who understand the issues facing the trilateral partnership while working together to identify innovative solutions to future global challenges. Participants who complete the program can continue contributing to the network as YTL alumni. The 2025 Kansai Summit will build upon the outputs of the 2024 Busan Summit. Additional trilateral youth activities may be sustained via small grants administered by U.S. Consulate General Osaka-Kobe and U.S. Embassies Tokyo and Seoul. Participants and Audiences: The recipient and the U.S. Consulate General Osaka-Kobe, in partnership with the U.S. Embassy Tokyo and the U.S. Embassy Seoul, will be jointly responsible for recruitment, vetting, and selection of program participants. The U.S. government retains final approval authority for all participants, who will apply via a standardized application form on a public website with program information and associated information and social media campaigns. Participants should be between the ages of 18 and 35 years old, have English proficiency, and be able to demonstrate a history of excellence in local and regional youth leadership activities. Applicants from regions and constituencies who are underrepresented in official programs are strongly encouraged to apply. Program Structure: Proposals should incorporate four primary elements (1) Pre-program promotion and selection process: The recipient will design and implement a program promotion and online application process for prospective participants, including a dedicated program website. Proposals should include a plan to incorporate U.S. Consulate/U.S. Embassy promotional channels, U.S. Consulate/U.S. Embassy concurrence on the selection process, and U.S. Consulate/U.S. Embassy participation in applicant selection itself. (2) Four-week period (minimum) of virtual engagement: The recipient will organize a series of preparatory virtual engagements with the participants to generate excitement for the summit, prepare summit objectives and structure, and allow participants to build rapport. These events should also include subject-matter experts (academic, civil society, government, etc.) from all three countries who can speak about the trilateral relationship, youth civic engagement, and other issues relevant to the theme of global youth leadership. These engagements should also lay out logistics and expectations for the in-person summit. (3) Three-day (minimum) summit in the Kansai region of Japan: The recipient will organize a summit to include lectures, exercises, facilitated workshops, and training sessions that cover topics such as organizing, advocacy, civic engagement, and briefings on international issues (on topics such as climate change, regional security, trade, science and technology, and other relevant themes). The sessions should be led by expert trainers and subject-matter experts representing the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. Participants may also lead sessions about youth initiatives in their own countries. The final output of this summit should be an actionable implementation plan leading to follow-on activities for program alumni and, potentially, future Summit participants. The recipient may also organize limited visits to relevant cultural and/or political sites and community service/social engagement activities to connect with the host community. The recipient will be responsible for arranging all logistics, including travel, transportation, food, and other items as necessary. Decisions on venues for the Summit will be determined with the U.S. Consulate/U.S. Embassy. (4) Follow-on activities: Following the summit, the recipient will conduct mentorship activities and facilitate/monitor any potential follow-on projects. *Please find attached the full notice

This ISO seeks solution summaries and proposals for projects that fall within the general scope of the ARPA-H Scalable Solutions mission office. SSO expands what is technically possible by developing approaches that will leverage an interdisciplinary approach and collaborative networks to address challenges of geography, distribution, manufacturing, data and information, thereby improving health care access and affordability. In the United States, many communities and remote areas lack access to timely and quality health care, which leads to disparities in health outcomes for those populations. Bottlenecks during the manufacturing processes of products and health technologies also lead to delays and limited availability, preventing effective distribution of health care solutions to areas of need, especially in emergencies.ARPA-H SSO seeks solutions to improve the scalability and affordability of health care solutions, bridge gaps in underserved areas, and extend remote access to expertise by developing location-specific interventions, telemedicine solutions, and mobile health clinics. Solutions should focus on rapid innovation and the use of partnerships, as well as flexible distribution networks and streamlined manufacturing processes. The following SSO interest areas categorize the ground-breaking solutions we seek to support:Scalable Technologies and Interventions: Approaches to improve affordability and equitable access to health care that are adaptable to various geographic, demographic, economic contexts and can be rapidly deployed at scale (e.g., drug-repurposing*, telemedicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and modular health care infrastructure). Tailored solutions for the pediatric population that provide parity in access to treatments and other health care interventions with the adult population and adapt to the pediatric patients changing physiology and developmental status over the course of years. Transformational approaches to reduce or eliminate health disparities, including tools and models for product design and care delivery that scale novel approaches in human factors and human-centered design to respond to full diversity of patients. Tools to enable the scaling of provider and institutional capabilities (e.g., school nurses and schools, walk-in clinics, homesteading care) to address unmet health care access needs and expand availability of critical services. Foundational capabilities to accelerate diagnoses and reduce the cost of treatments for rare diseases wherever patients are, without the need for specialized facilities or healthcare expertise.* Solution summaries and proposals that focus on testing drugs for effectiveness for other disease states or use cases, are unlikely to be funded unless including additional R, or providing gains in cost reduction, accessibility, and/or equity.Collaborative Distribution Networks: Methods for standardization, automation, and democratization of complex procedures 5 including, but not limited to, histopathology, rare disease diagnosis and treatment, and surgical interventions to ensure access and delivery to populations diverse in demographics, geographies, and resources at scale. Approaches to enhance delivery of effective healthcare solutions in rural or low resource settings, including but not limited to "last mile delivery, at-home monitoring, imaging, drug delivery, telehealth augmentation, and support for remote medical procedures with limited need for specialized training. Technologies to enable the deployment of critical healthcare resources rapidly, equitably, and securely at scale to the point of need in permissive and non-permissive (i.e., damaged infrastructure, cyber-denied) environments during a public health crisis or natural disaster. Solutions to scale education and training of critical healthcare resources for health care providers and patients to ensure information integrity to prevent negative impacts to resource use/uptake. Innovative information technology, data and analytic products and technologies to enable ordering, inventory management, situational awareness, allocation planning and demand forecasting of critical healthcare resources during a public health crisis or natural disaster.Biomanufacturing Innovations*: Innovative manufacturing technologies and approaches that reduce cost, shorten the timeline for production, advance domestic competitiveness and reduce supply chain risk of biologics, cellular and gene therapies, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and personal protective equipment. New approaches to support predictable, programable biological production of conventional and novel materials reliability at scale in a cost-effective sustainable manner. Novel solutions to reduce the reliance on specialized handling and cold chain management of pharmaceuticals and biologics. Scalable innovations to advance and strengthen biomanufacturing supply chain and resolve bottlenecks including:o Advances in production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, process consumables, and other critical materials (i.e., enzymes, cell lines, etc);o Novel biomanufacturing-related data products, technologies or models to integrate into supply chain situational awareness systems;o Alternative materials and new manufacturing capabilities for personal protective equipment; ando Improvement of capabilities sustainably re-shore manufacturing and utilize a broad array of readily accessible and cost-efficient feedstocks as part of strengthening the local and national industry base. Analytics and novel sensor systems to precisely manage bioproduction, real-time release assays, and predictive capabilities to inform tuning of biological chassis for efficient and effective scale-up of manufacturing to industrial scale.*ARPA-H is not interested in approaches that merely increase capacity reservation.Other high-quality submissions that propose revolutionary technologies that meet the goals of SSO will be considered even if they do not address the topics listed above.Proposals are expected to use innovative approaches to enable revolutionary advances in medicine and healthcare, and the science and technology underlying these areas. While approaches that are disease agnostic are encouraged, ARPA-H welcomes proposals that bring radically new insights to address specific diseases including, but not limited to, cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, pediatric and maternal/fetal health, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular disease.Specifically excluded are proposals that represent an evolutionary or incremental advance in the current state of the art or technology that has reached the clinical trial stage. An example of this type of proposal might include the request to fund clinical trials of an otherwise developed product. Additionally, proposals directed towards policy changes, traditional education and training, or center coordination, formation, or development, and construction of physical infrastructure are outside the scope of the ARPA-H mission.
