Applied Biomedical Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) provides applied research funding to refine concepts and ideas into potential solutions for military health and performance problems, with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility. Research in this PE is designed to address areas of interest to the Secretary of Defense regarding Wounded Warriors, capabilities identified through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System, and sustainment of DoD and multi-agency priority investments in science, technology, research, and development. Medical research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) priorities for the Defense Health Program (DHP) are guided by, and will support, the National Defense Strategy, the National Research Action Plan for Improving Access to Mental Health Services for Veterans, Service Members, Military Families, the National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic Resistance, and the National Strategy for Biodefense. Program development and execution 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 and, the Department of Health and Human Services. Funds in the PE support studies and investigations leading to candidate solutions that may involve use of animal models for testing in preparation for initial human testing. As research efforts mature, the most promising efforts will transition to technology development (PE 0603115) funding.
