## What the grant funds

Agency Name: U. S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground Edgewood Contracting Division, Fort Detrick Description: Applications to the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Deployed Warfighter Protection (DWFP) Program are being solicited 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 mission of the DWFP Program is to protect deployed military personnel from arthropod vectors of medically relevant disease pathogens, including (but not limited to) arthropod disease vectors of mosquito-borne arboviruses and tick-borne pathogens, and nuisance biting arthropods. 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 FY25 DWFP Program Research Award, applications must address at least one of these FY25 DWFP Program Research Areas: bite prevention, vector control, decision support tools or software applications, vector surveillance and identification, and/or vector pathogen diagnostics. The proposed research is expected to be product-driven with a focus on multiple target arthropod genera and/or species, outcomes that are relevant for both military and civilian uses, and a strategy for subsequent registration by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as applicable for pesticide end use products.
