What the grant funds

The MBRP CTRA is intended to support human research projects that are likely to have a major impact on patient care by applying promising and well-founded research findings to the care of the burn-injured patient, particularly at the point-of-injury, or during the acute phase of injury. Impact is a key component of this award mechanism. The potential impact of the research, both short-term and long-term, in addressing the FY21 MBRP Focus Area should be clearly described. High-impact research will, if successful, significantly advance the burn research field and the care of burn-injured patients. Burn care interventions or projects scalable to mass casualty events are of particular interest to the MBRP. To be competitive the application must include a sound scientific rationale, logical reasoning, and a well-formulated, testable hypothesis. The proposed research must be relevant to Service Members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the American public. Collaborations between researchers at military or Veteran institutions and non-military institutions are strongly encouraged. These relationships can leverage knowledge, infrastructure, and access to unique data and research resources that the partners bring to the research effort, ultimately advancing burn research which is of significance to the Service Member, military families, and the American public. Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed clinical research is required. Only Clinical Research and/or Clinical Trials will be considered for funding under this mechanism. Applications to the FY21 MBRP CTRA must include clinical research, and may include initial proof of concept clinical trials, prospective studies involving use of human anatomical substances, observational studies, and/or involve some retrospective analysis of clinical data repositories. A clinical research study is defined as: (1) patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues that cannot be linked to a living individual.
