DoW Military Burn, Patient-Centered Research Award

The Department of the Army -- USAMRAA is seeking applications for the DoW Military Burn, Patient-Centered Research Award. The award aims to bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy by developing a knowledge base that provides clinically useful findings about how interventions, clinical practices, guidelines, tools, and policies can be deployed to burn patients in an austere, resource-limited, military operational environment. The proposed study must address at least one of the focus areas, including development and/or validation of methods to triage, treat, and/or prevent complications of cold injury, research to innovate best practices in the acute burn care continuum in a combat setting, and development and/or validation of methods for use in a combat setting to prevent, assess and/or treat burn injury-related complications. • Development and/or validation of methods to triage, treat, and/or prevent complications of cold injury • Research to innovate best practices in the acute burn care continuum in a combat setting • Development and/or validation of methods for use in a combat setting to prevent, assess and/or treat burn injury-related complications The award mechanism must support clinical research or clinical trials but cannot support preclinical or animal research. Applications may propose prospective or retrospective research involving human subjects or human subject data.
