GDF-Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences
Abstract
Guidance for Development of the Force-Basic Operational Medical Research Sciences: Basic research described here will be focused on enhancement of knowledge to support capabilities identified through the JCIDS process and the strategy and initiatives addressed in the QDR. Within this Program Element, research will be conducted in the general categories of polytrauma and blast injury, diagnosis and treatment of brain injury, and psychological health and wellbeing for military personnel and families. Polytrauma and blast injury efforts will focus on fundamental mechanisms to support forward surgical and intensive critical care, treatment for extremity trauma, enroute care, devices for hemorrhage (bleeding) control, military medical photonics (interdisciplinary branch of medicine that involves the study and application of light with respect to health and disease), blast injury models and performance standards for protections systems, and diagnostics and metrics for hearing loss and protection. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) efforts will focus on fundamental mechanisms to support far-forward deployable technologies for diagnosis of mild TBI, identification and characterization of mechanisms of TBI, and improved therapeutics for TBI. Psychological health efforts will focus on characterization and identification of family and community health and resilience, diagnosis of deployment-related psychological health problems, and causes of post traumatic stress disorder.
