Department of Defense Combat Readiness
Rapid Development and Translational Research Award
The FY20 Defense Appropriations Act provides funding to the Department of Defense Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program (CRRP) to support military-relevant advanced technology and therapeutic research related to forward-deployable solutions that can promptly address life-threatening injuries, medical threats, and treatments for Service members in current and future battlefield settings.  The FY20 Congressional language for the CRRP considered research that would enable the Warfighter to better respond to serious injury, as well as solutions to mitigate the long-term effects of battlefield trauma.  The FY20 CRRP Broad Agency Announcement and General Submission Instructions for the following award mechanism are posted on the Grants.gov website.
The FY20 CRRP is soliciting research applications addressing at least one of the Focus Areas described below. The Focus Areas broadly describe current needs to ensure readiness for delivering front-line care in combat situations and for delivering medical damage control capability, assets, and lifesaving interventions to address the emerging needs of the Warfighter and Service medics during prolonged and en route care in austere and combat environments, including the acute and early management of combat-related trauma at the point of injury.
Applications submitted to the FY20 CRRP must address at least one of the following Focus Areas:
- Multiple-use scalable wound-care solutions that can address prevention of bleeding and infection, delivery of therapeutics, and promotion of healing spanning acute through chronic care
- Repair and/or restoration of combat-related genitourinary organ and tissue damage
- Solutions for assessment of mild traumatic brain injury in deployed and far-forward settings to include portable devices
- Research and development of freeze-dried plasma and platelets to address hemorrhage and resuscitation
- Solutions to enhance Warfighter readiness in battlefield and austere environments including the prevention and treatment of:
- Gastrointestinal illness such as Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrheal disease and inflammatory bowel disease
- Sleep disorders
- Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
- Infectious diseases
- Enhanced delivery and utilization of telemedicine platforms
