What the grant funds

The intent of the FY24 CRRP TRA is to support high-impact translational research that will accelerate innovative ideas into clinical applications, including health care products, technologies, and/or practice guidelines. Research funded under this award mechanism will be hypothesis-driven, high-impact applied research that is relevant to Service Members, Veterans, their Families, and the American public. Applicants may leverage existing resources in translational research to address essential research ideas or unmet needs to enable the delivery of life-saving care to the Warfighter during prolonged and en route care in austere and combat environments. For this award mechanism, the definition of “leveraging” is as follows: an investigator basing a research project on existing resources in order to amplify potential gains in knowledge or accelerate technical maturity. Research of interest may include knowledge products, “knowledge resulting from research with the potential to improve individual or public health,”1 and solutions that can accelerate the introduction of military-relevant health products or technologies into clinical and/or operational use. Projects should take into consideration the varied expertise levels of targeted medical providers, available resources, and the possible diverse environmental conditions in combat situations. Proposal/application submissions are encouraged to include characteristics relevant to military use in the pre-hospital, combat operational setting. Submissions that propose solutions to advance civilian trauma care are not precluded, since civilian trauma and trauma care in the military are mutually influential and may be co-occurring in certain situations. Impact is a key component of this award mechanism. The potential impact of the research, both short term and long term, in addressing the FY24 CRRP Focus Area(s) should be clearly described. Successful high-impact research should lead to the accelerated translation of applicable advances for improving medical readiness, mitigating fatalities, optimally treating life-threatening injuries, and promoting positive long-term outcomes for military health and medicine, as well as the general public. Key aspects of the CRRP TRA Mechanism: • This BAA may be used to support applied, preclinical, clinical research, and/or small-scale clinical trials (e.g., first in human, phase 1/1b).
