Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health – FASTPASS Program
August 24 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The FASTPASS program aims to protect Americans from substandard or contaminated medicines by building rapid, non-destructive screening tools that can verify drug quality and safety through packaging, in near real-time, at ports, warehouses, and distribution centers. To achieve this, the program is divided into two key Technical Areas (TAs):
-
TA1 – SAMPLE: Develop advanced through-packaging sensing technologies to evaluate the chemical makeup of a product using spectrographic or other non-contact, non-destructive means.
-
TA2 – DETECT: Develop advanced analytics and models to transform existing spectroscopic techniques and address critical challenges in implementing next-generation detection capabilities.
