The Department of Defense seeks extramural biomedical and human performance R&D proposals for FY23-FY28 under BAA HT9425-23-S-SOC1.
Funder: Dept. of the Army -- USAMRAA
Due Dates: July 31, 2028 (Final close) | Rolling submission for pre-proposals and invited full proposals
Funding Amounts: Typical awards: $2M–$5M total; maximum per project: $10M; award ceiling: $50M; project duration up to 5 years
Summary: Supports extramural research and development in biomedical and human performance to advance military and civilian medical knowledge and capabilities for Special Operations Forces and related beneficiaries.
Key Information: Pre-proposal required; full proposals by invitation only; open to all applicant types.
This opportunity funds extramural research and development projects that advance biomedical and human performance knowledge, technologies, and products relevant to U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) and broader military and civilian health needs. The program seeks innovative solutions that address operational medical gaps, enhance human performance, and improve survivability and recovery in austere, far-forward, and resource-limited environments. Research may span basic to applied science and is intended to benefit both military personnel and the general public.
Priority areas include, but are not limited to: damage control resuscitation, prolonged field care, medical sensors/devices, portable diagnostics, force health protection, brain health, automation of systematic reviews, human performance optimization, canine medicine and performance, and medical sustainment. Projects must demonstrate clear relevance to SOF requirements and have the potential for commercialization or broad implementation.
