10) Enabling Science
Abstract
There are many technologies that can be applied across multiple thrust areas in the medical and physical portions of the S&T house, and thus pay dividends well beyond the actual investment. Examples include development of well-characterized animal models for use in FDA filings; incorporation of “organ-on-a-chip” technologies that will reduce the reliance on animal testing; development of AI capability to predict toxicology of new/unknown chemical compounds or evaluate the predicted safety profile of drug candidates. The Enabling Science thrust area funds research efforts that modernize the chemical medical countermeasure (cMCM) pipeline to develop and deploy cMCMs more rapidly to the Warfighter.
