Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences

Abstract

Guidance for Development of the Force-Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences: This program element (PE) provides support for basic medical research directed toward greater knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles of science and medicine that are relevant to the improvement of Force Health Protection. Research in this PE is designed to address the following: areas of interest to the Secretary of Defense regarding Wounded Warriors, capabilities identified through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), and the strategy and initiatives described in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). Program development is peer-reviewed and coordinated with all of the Military Services, appropriate Defense Agencies or Activities and other federal agencies, to include the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Homeland Security. This coordination occurs through the planning and execution activities of the Joint Program Committees (JPCs), established for the Defense Health Program Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding. Research supported by this PE includes polytrauma (multiple traumatic injuries) and blast injury, diagnosis and treatment of brain injury, and psychological health and well-being for military personnel and families. Funds in this PE are for basic research that promises to provide important new approaches to complex military medical problems. As the research efforts mature, the most promising efforts will transition to applied research (PE 0602115HP) or technology development (0603115HP) funding. The FY13 DHP Congressional Special Interest (CSI) funding supported peer-reviewed, directed basic research for Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health projects. Because of the CSI annual structure, out-year funding is not programmed.
