Medical Development

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) funds the Military Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Research Program and the following medical research efforts: Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) Vaccine Production research, Underbody Blast (UBB) research, and Deployed Warfighter Protection. Funding also supports the Medical Operational Data System (MODS), Pharmacovigilance Defense Application System (PVDAS), Mobile HealthCare Environment (MHCE), and the Civilian Authorized Salaries and Other Operational Requirements programs. The Military HIV Program supports the research and development to develop candidate HIV vaccines, to assess safety and effectiveness in human subjects and to protect military personnel from risks associated with HIV infection. The WRAIR Vaccine Production Facility research Project supports the development and licensure of vaccines and relevant biologics critical to the global health of our Warfighters serving domestically or abroad in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. The UBB Testing medical research Project provides funds to establish a scientific and statistical basis for evaluating skeletal injuries to vehicle occupants during ground vehicle UBB events. Areas of interest to the Secretary of Defense are medical research that provides an understanding of the human response and tolerance limits and injury mechanisms needed to accurately predict skeletal injuries to ground combat vehicle occupants caused by UBB events. This enhanced understanding will support the establishment of an improved capability to conduct Title 10 Live Fire Test and Evaluation and to make acquisition decisions. The Deployed Warfighter Protection program Armed Forces Pest Management Board provides for the development of new or improved protection of military personnel from insects and tick vectors of disease pathogens. The MODS, PPVDAS, and MHCE identify, explore and demonstrate key technologies to overcome medical and military unique technology barriers. The Civilian Authorized Salaries and other operational requirements provide funding for authorized civilian workforce performing medical research, development, acquisition management and oversight that support the medical research, development, test, and evaluation (RDTE) programs at the United States Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), Fort Detrick, Maryland.
