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 sustainment of priority investments in science, technology, research, and development as stated in the Quadrennial Defense Review. Within this Program Element, research will be conducted in the general categories of coagulopathy of trauma (inability of blood to clot normally), polytrauma (multiple traumatic injuries) and blast 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 program is conducting basic research to identify biomarkers for detecting bacterial wound infections. Operational medicine is focusing on fundamental mechanisms to support research on prevention of training and operational injury, nutrition and dietary supplements, psychological health and resilience, operational exposure standards for cumulative mild traumatic brain injury, fatigue mechanisms, biomarkers (indicators) of inhalational exposure to toxic substances, and military operational computational modeling.
