# ARPA-H Funds San Diego Hospital Cybersecurity Project

ARPA-H has awarded UC San Diego funding of up to $29.9 million over a maximum of four years to lead PANACEA-H, a project mapping technology dependencies across hospitals and assessing how cyber incidents could affect patient care. The award is already made, so this is not an open solicitation; its procurement relevance is the potential for downstream implementation, data-analysis, network-mapping, and healthcare cybersecurity needs as the project develops tools for public agencies and healthcare organizations.

- Contractors with hospital cybersecurity, data-analysis, and network-mapping capabilities can assess whether their services fit potential future project needs; the signal does not identify an active procurement or solicitation.
- The project’s focus on technology dependencies and care impacts connects cybersecurity work to healthcare system resilience, creating potential relevance for both public agencies and healthcare organizations.
