CONUS Laboratory Support Clinical Infrastructure (Army)
Abstract
CONUS Laboratory Infrastructure Support (Army) funding provides management support requirements for research infrastructure at select laboratories and research sites that conduct basic to late-stage clinical research and evaluation of investigational products, such as biologics, drugs, and devices to treat/prevent polytrauma (multiple traumatic injuries), through collaborative efforts with the Military Health System’s (MHS) Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). MTFs provide access to patient populations who will benefit the most from the medical products and capabilities being developed. Military Relevance is a key component of this program. The research supported is aimed at protecting, supporting, and advancing the health and welfare of military personnel, families, and communities while supporting the development of military researchers and the MHS research culture. These products are required to be approved through the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process prior to general use in humans. The funds sustain significant expertise and knowledge independent of the number of assigned projects. Institutional Review Board and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee functions, research technical support, statistical support, grant writing assistance, and other essential functions for maintaining research in MTFs are provided by these infrastructure funds. The funds do not fund research but ensure the MTFs can compete for RDT&E research funds.
