Description
The Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) is a product-driven funding mechanism aimed at supporting the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical use in austere, resource-limited, and distributed operational environments. The focus is on burn care relevant to military contexts. Supported products may include medical devices, drugs, or clinical practice guidelines, as well as knowledge products that directly support tangible technology or therapeutic development. For FY26, a new Mentorship Option allows for enhanced funding for projects that pair experienced researchers with one or two junior researchers, fostering leadership development in military burn research while addressing critical gaps in combat burn care.
