What the grant funds

The DMRDP BWMIR Award seeks to enhance combat traumatic wound care capabilities throughout the medical continuum of care, which may be complicated by combat operations, limited resources, austere conditions, and/or mass casualty events. The intent of the FY22 DMRDP BWMIR Award is to support research that will increase the understanding of complex wound physiology and infection control in order to support future application and maturation of products, technologies, and clinical practice. Research that advances and/or repurposes existing solutions and has the potential to be broadly applicable is advantageous, but not required. Additionally, submissions may present advances benefiting military health and medicine as well as the general public. Applicants may leverage existing resources in translational research to address high-impact 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: carrying out a research project based on existing resources in order to amplify potential gains in knowledge or accelerate technical maturity. Research of interest may include knowledge products, i.e., “knowledge resulting from research with the potential to improve individual or public health,”3 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. Applications in response to this BAA may not be used to support fundamental basic research. For this BAA, basic research is defined as research directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications toward process or products in mind.
