Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Blast Injury Prevention Standards Request for Information

This pure informational Request for Information (RFI) seeks to collect existing and emerging data, models, standards, and expertise related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) from blast exposures. The Defense Health Agency (DHA)‑US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) aims to use the gathered information to shape a future DoD/Military Health System Blast Injury Prevention Standard for mTBI. No funding, contract award, or deliverable schedule is attached; participation is voluntary and serves only to inform future standard‑development efforts. • Scope: Gather publications, reports, dose‑response curves, computational models, simulation tools, and any existing standards concerning mTBI from blast‑injury contexts. • Audience: Industry, academia, other federal agencies with relevant research or protective‑equipment expertise. • Process: Initial contact via a web “Contact Us” form; after review, a secure upload portal is provided for document submission. No explicit submission deadline is stated. • Funding: None – DHA will not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents. • Outcome: Information will be evaluated by the BIPSR Process (managed by BIRCO and MITRE) and may influence future standards and health‑hazard assessments for service members.
