## What the grant funds

The intent of the FY21 MBRP IDA is to support new ideas that represent innovative approaches to military-relevant burn research and have the potential to make an important contribution to the MBRP mission. Research deemed innovative may represent a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, or look at existing problems from new perspectives. Applications proposing applied research and/or preclinical research will be considered for funding. Fundamental basic research and clinical research will not be considered for funding. 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/or 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. Inclusion of preliminary and/or published data relevant to the proposed research is required. Any unpublished, preliminary data provided should originate from the laboratory of the Principal Investigator (PI) or a member(s) of the research team. 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. The types of awards made under the program announcement will be assistance agreements. An assistance agreement is appropriate when the federal government transfers a “thing of value” to a “state, local government,” or “other recipient” to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by a law of the United States instead of acquiring property or service for the direct benefit and use of the U.S. government. An assistance agreement can take the form of a grant or cooperative agreement.
