Grant Description

The Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP) provides resources for advances in biotechnology research administered by the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), located at Fort Detrick, Maryland. TATRC facilitates interdisciplinary research partnerships led by industry (that may also include academia and government) that advance the development of emerging technologies and improvements in health care. With this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is seeking to fund biotechnology research that culminates in outcomes and products that may qualify as advanced development activities within the Department of Defense (DoD). The results of this research will support medical protection and treatment requirements and needs by leveraging the skills and talents of US based businesses and teaching-research academic institutions. The intent is to create enduring initiatives and collaborations that will develop and support sustained business and enterprise solutions. The results of the research funded through this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity are expected to increase the body of knowledge available to professionals and practitioners in health, medical science and related fields. The research impact is expected to benefit both civilian and military communities, particularly as it relates to the topic area of prehospital use of plasma for traumatic hemorrhage.
