Description
The Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Patient-Centered Research Award (PCRA) seeks to address the persistent gap between advances in combat-relevant burn care research and their application in clinical practice, especially within distributed military operational environments. The FY26 award is designed to fund clinical research or clinical trials (not preclinical or animal studies) that generate actionable findings on the deployment of interventions, guidelines, tools, or policies for burn patients in resource-limited, austere military settings. For FY26, a new Mentorship Option is available, supporting collaborations between experienced researchers and junior investigators to both advance critical research and foster the next generation of leaders in military burn research.
