GDF - Medical Technology Development
Abstract
Guidance for Development of the Force - Medical Technology Development provides funds for development of promising candidate solutions that are selected for initial safety and effectiveness testing in animal studies and/or small-scale human clinical trials regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration prior to licensing for human use. Medical technology development is managed by six Joint Program Committees: 1- Medical Simulation and Information Sciences research aims to coordinate health information technology, simulation, and training research across the Military Health System. Technology development efforts are directed toward the medical simulation task. 2- Military Infectious Diseases research is developing protection and treatment products for military relevant infectious diseases. 3- Military Operational Medicine research goals are to develop and validate medical countermeasures against operational stressors, prevent physical and psychological injuries during training and operations, and to maximize health, performance and fitness of Service members. 4- Combat Casualty Care research is optimizing survival and recovery in injured Service members across the spectrum of care from point of injury through en route and facilities care. 5- Radiation Health Effects research focuses on technology development of acute radiation exposure medical countermeasures development. 6- Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine research is developing knowledge and materiel products to reconstruct, rehabilitate, and provide care for injured Service members. Technology development efforts are directed against tasks in neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation, pain management, regenerative medicine, and sensory systems.
