Medical Program-Wide Activities

Abstract

The Army Medical Command receives funding for research infrastructure management support requirements at select continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental US (OCONUS) laboratories and trial sites. Research scientists at these laboratories conduct bio-surveillance and early-to-late-stage clinical research of investigational products such as biologics, drugs, and devices to treat/prevent polytrauma injuries. Research is conducted to obtain US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensure, a requirement for use of all medical products. The funding provides for the sustainment of significant technical expertise and knowledge independent of the number of assigned projects. This funding also provides for initial outfitting and transition (IO&T) cost requirements for replacement of research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) medical laboratories funded under multi-year military construction (MILCON) projects. These IO&T funds are designated as appropriations other than MILCON. Health Affairs (Force Health Protection & Readiness) receives funds to provide management support for research projects at Pacific Joint Information Technology Center (JITC). For the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, this program element includes facility operational funding for the Medical Biological Defense research sub-function of the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC) Biological Defense Research Directorate (BDRD). The program mission is mandated by the Joint Requirements Office-CBRN, capability baseline assessment chemical and biological passive defense. The primary function is Research on Countermeasures to Biological Threat Agents; Development of Assays to Detect Biological Threat Agents ; Bioforensic Analysis of Biological Threat Agents.
