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 Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process and the strategy and initiatives addressed in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). Apart from prevailing in current conflicts, the QDR states that taking care of our wounded warriors is DoD’s highest priority. Within this Program Element, research will be conducted in the general categories of polytrauma (multiple traumatic injuries) and blast injury, diagnosis and treatment of brain injury, military infectious diseases, and operational medicine. Polytrauma and blast injury efforts will focus on fundamental mechanisms to support devices and therapeutics for hemorrhage (bleeding) control, resuscitation and blood products, and blast injury models and performance standards for protections systems. Military infectious diseases research will conduct basic research to identify biomarkers for detecting bacterial wound infections. Operational medicine will focus on fundamental mechanisms to support research on fatigue mechanisms, prevention of training and operational injury, and military operational computational modeling.
