### CU Anschutz Awarded $120M DARPA Contract to Validate Hemorrhage Therapeutics in Clinical Trials
- University of Colorado Anschutz receives up to $120 million over three years from DARPA to independently verify and validate emerging hemorrhage treatments and diagnostics for human clinical trials and FDA review.
- CU Anschutz will evaluate as many as 11 products over three years, including novel blood products, oxygen carriers, and diagnostic technologies, serving as an external research site for DARPA's RAPIID program.
- UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and the ATLAS Research Program will support clinical trial execution as validated technologies advance toward regulatory approval.

**Operational Impact**

CU Anschutz's ATLAS Research Program and UCHealth clinical trial infrastructure will execute Phase 1–2 validation studies for up to 11 hemorrhage products, creating sustained clinical trial demand and establishing the campus as a preferred site for DARPA-sponsored therapeutic development.
