GDF-Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences

Abstract

Guidance for Development of the Force-Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences: Basic research described here focuses on enhancement of knowledge to support capabilities identified through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process and sustainment of DoD and multi-agency priority investments in science, technology, research, and development as stated in the Quadrennial Defense Review, the National Research Action Plan for Improving Access to Mental Health Services for Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families, and the National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic Resistance. This project supports basic research managed by the Joint Program Committees (JPCs) in the following areas: 1- Military infectious diseases (JPC-2) research develops protection and treatment products for military relevant infectious diseases. Basic research efforts in this area support a task in bacterial diseases. 2- Military operational medicine (JPC-5) research focuses on the development of medical countermeasures against operational stressors, prevention of physical and psychological injuries during training and operations, and maximizing the health, performance and fitness of Service members. Basic research efforts in this area support tasks in musculoskeletal injury; brain health and performance risk; behavioral health, wellness and resilience; warfighter physical performance; nutrition and weight balance; psychiatry and clinical psychology disorders; sensory performance, injury and protection; blunt, blast and accelerative injury; environmental toxicant exposure; and aircrew health and performance. 3- Combat casualty care (JPC-6) research is focused on optimizing survival and recovery in injured Service members across the spectrum of care from point of injury through enroute and facility care. Basic research efforts in this area support the task for hemorrhage, shock, and coagulopathy (inability of blood to clot normally) of trauma.
