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, and sustainment of priority investments in science, technology, research, and development as stated in the Quadrennial Defense Review. 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 coagulopathy of trauma (inability of blood to clot normally), polytrauma (multiple traumatic injuries) and blast injury, military infectious diseases, and operational medicine. 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 (PE 0603115HP) funding.
