About this opportunity
The MBRP Clinical Translational Research Award (CTRA) is intended to support clinical research projects that are likely to have a major impact on therapy by applying promising and well-founded clinical research findings to the care of the burn-injured patient. Burns have comprised some 5%-20% of the casualties sustained in post-World War II conflicts.1 Potential future conflicts may cause a rise in the number of burn injuries sustained by Service members and the general public should those conflicts occur in rural areas, austere combat zones, and in mass casualty events, whereby medical resources are limited and/or access to medical care is delayed for weeks. In order to prepare the military and the Nation for such potential future conflicts, the FY19/20 MBRP is soliciting research to provide burn care solutions closer to the point of injury for the pre-hospital setting and for a prolonged field care scenario. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) defines prolonged field care (PFC) as field trauma care extended beyond doctrinal timelines until the patient can be transported from the point of injury to an appropriate level of care. PFC has been identified as a high priority capability gap across the Army and other Services. Additional information regarding PFC can be found in the following articles, Prolonged Field Care: Beyond the ‘Golden Hour’2 and Prolonged Field Care the New Normal says Army, MRMC Brass.3 Although encouraged, applications submitted to the FY19/20 MBRP CTRA are not required to address PFC. However, the proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service beneficiaries, and/or the American public. Funding from this award mechanism must support clinical research involving human subjects; animal research is not allowed under this funding opportunity. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider the FY19/20 MBRP Idea Development Award Program Announcement, if appropriate. The anticipated total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY19/20 MBRP CTRA will not exceed $1.55M. Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information. The CDMRP expects to allot approximately $4.65M of the combined FY19 MBRP appropriation to fund approximately three (3) FY19/20 MBRP CTRA applications. In addition, up to $4.65M of the FY20 MBRP appropriation may be available to fund an additional three (3) FY19/20 MBRP CTRA applications, if appropriated. Funding of applications received is contingent upon the availability of Federal funds for this program as well as the number of applications received, the quality and merit of the applications as evaluated by scientific and programmatic review, and the requirements of the Government. Funds to be obligated on any award resulting from this funding opportunity will be available for use for a limited time period based on the fiscal year of the funds. It is anticipated that awards made from this funding opportunity will be funded with FY19 and FY20 MBRP funds, which must be obligated by September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2021, respectively. Awards will be made no later than September 30, 2021. For additional information, refer to Section II.F.1, Federal Award Notices. The types of awards made under the Program Announcement will be assistance agreements (grants or cooperative agreements). The level of involvement on the part of the Department of Defense (DoD) during project performance is the key factor in determining whether to award a grant or cooperative agreement. An assistance agreement (grant or cooperative 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.
