About this opportunity

The intent of this award mechanism is to support development of highly innovative materiel and knowledge products to drive critical combat casualty care capabilities to the Warfighter in highly extreme environments where evacuation capabilities may be significantly delayed or unavailable.(Ref. 2, above) This Funding Opportunity aligns with the recently published Committee on En Route Combat Casualty Care (CoERCCC) top 10 research priorities including: medical documentation, clinical decision support, patient monitoring, transfer of care, transport physiology, maintenance of normothermia, transport timing, intelligent tasking, commanders’ decision support, and unmanned transport,(Ref. 14, above) and focuses on research to knowledge and materiel to improve the en route care and patient movement from point of injury to definitive care by sea.The solutions under this Funding Opportunity will not be limited to military use. Knowledge and materiel products developed will have applications in civilian environments as well. Natural disasters, explosive mass shootings can generate a surge of casualties and complex injuries that can mirror those seen on the battlefield. those in rural areas, face challenges with delayed access to hospital-based care. While only 20% of all Americans live in rural areas, they account for more than 50% of all trauma-related fatalities. The majority of these individuals do not live within an hour of a Level I or II trauma center and could benefit from improvements in ERC. Solutions generated by this work will be applicable in civilian settings where mode of patient movement, environmental conditions, or traumatic condition are similar to the military use case.We anticipate that projects funded under this award mechanism, as systematic application of knowledge or understanding, directed toward the production of useful systems or methods, including improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet specific requirements, will increase survivability from both combat-related and trauma-induced injuries.The types of awards made under the Program Announcement will be assistance agreements. An assistance agreement is appropriate when the Federal Government transfers a “thing of value” to a “state, local government,” or “other recipient” to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by a law of the United States instead of acquiring property or service for the direct benefit and use of the Government. An assistance agreement can take the form of a grant or cooperative agreement. The level of involvement on the part of the DoD during project performance is the key factor in determining whether to award a grant or cooperative agreement. If “no substantial involvement” on the part of the funding agency is anticipated, a grant award will be made (31 USC 6304). Conversely, if substantial involvement on the part ofthe funding agency is anticipated, a cooperative agreement will be made (31 USC 6305), and the award will identify the specific substantial involvement. Substantial involvement may include, but is not limited intervention in the research to be performed under the award. The award type, along with the start date, will be determined during the negotiation process.The anticipated total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY21 DMRDP JPC-6/CCCRP ERCA will not exceed $1.4 million (M). Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information.Awards will be made no later than September 30, 2022. For additional information refer to Section II.F.1, Federal Award Notices.The CDMRP expects to allot approximately $1.8M of the FY21, $1.8M of the FY22, and $1.8M of the FY23 DHP RDT&E appropriations to fund approximately three or four (3 or 4) FY21 DMRDP JPC_6/CCCRP ERC Award applications.
