## What the grant funds

Applications to the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Deployed Warfighter Protection (DWFP) Program are being requested by the U.S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Edgewood Contracting Division, Fort Detrick (ACC-APG Edgewood) using delegated authority provided by United States Code, Title 10, Section 4001 (10 USC 4001). The execution management agent for this program announcement is the DWFP Program at the Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB). The DWFP Program’s mission is to protect deployed military personnel from medically relevant pests, including (but not limited to) arthropod disease vectors of mosquito-borne arboviruses and tick-borne pathogens, as well as fly-borne bacterial pathogens. The DWFP Program seeks to fund original and innovative research that supports the Advanced Technology Development of new insecticides, or improved formulations of existing insecticides for vector control, new technology or enhanced modalities of personal protection from biting arthropods, or improved efficacy and sustainability of equipment for application of pesticides. To meet the intent of the FY24 DWFP Program Research Award, applications must address at least one of the five FY24 DWFP Program Research Areas listed below. Bulleted items are provided to indicate additional context regarding programmatic intent but not required to be specifically addressed by applications. Applications consisting solely or primarily of basic research activities may be administratively withdrawn. Selection of the appropriate FY24 DWFP Program Research Area is the responsibility of the applicant. 1. Bite Prevention (DWFP-1): Research will address knowledge gaps in new personal protection tools that prevent contact with medically relevant arthropods. 2. Vector Control (DWFP-2): Research will address new insecticide application techniques, new toxicants or the adaptation of existing toxicants to medically relevant arthropods. 3. Decision Support Tools or Software Applications (DWFP-3): Research will address new tools or software applications that support data-driven decisions (e.g. predictive modeling) for improved arthropod vector surveillance and control strategies, including outbreak responses. 4. Vector surveillance and identification (DWFP-4): Research will address new arthropod vector surveillance tools and technologies that focus on improved vector control outcomes. 5.
