AI summary

The program funds burn-focused, product-driven research to translate promising preclinical findings into medical products or knowledge products for use in austere, resource-limited combat care. Eligible applicants include extramural and intramural U.S. Department of War organizations, including foreign and domestic for-profit and nonprofit entities, but awards go to organizations rather than individuals; FFRDCs may not receive awards directly. The announcement expects about $5 million total to fund roughly three awards, with total cost caps of $1.6 million for a single PI or $1.8 million for the mentorship option, and a maximum project period of 3 years. Cost sharing is not required unless a research or prototype other transaction is used, and clinical trials, clinical research, and human subject enrollment are not allowed.

Official description from grants.gov

Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) is a burn-focused, product-driven award mechanism intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into burn products for clinical application in an austere, resource-limited, distributed operational environment. Distinctive Features: The technology or therapeutic product(s) to be developed must be product-oriented (e.g., medical device, drug, or clinical practice guidelines involving a therapeutic or technology). The product(s) to be developed may be tangible or knowledge supporting the development of a tangible product and must address one or more of the FY26 MBRP TTDA focus areas. Knowledge products are allowable, provided that the knowledge is applicable to a technology or therapeutic under development. (A “knowledge product” is a non-tangible, non-materiel product that results from research with the potential to improve individual or public health.) · New for FY26: The FY26 MBRP TTDA offers a Mentorship Option at a higher funding level to support a synergistic relationship between an experienced researcher (Mentor) and one to two junior researchers (Mentees). The dual purpose of this award is to fund a primary research study addressing a critical gap in combat burn care while simultaneously fostering the development of the next generation of military burn research leaders.
