2009 Annual Report TATRC
Abstract
The Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) performs medical research reconnaissance and special operations to address critical gaps that are underrepresented in other Department of Defense (DoD) medical research programs. TATRC is an office of the headquarters of the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). The Center conducts research in specific key capability areas including health informatics, telemedicine/m-Health, and computational biology. TATRC is also responsible for promoting and managing national and international extramural research in other key areas, notably medical training systems, medical robotics, human performance enhancement technologies, medicine in austere environments, brain and behavior neurosciences, and tissue engineering technologies. Through an extensive network of partners and consultants, TATRC explores management models for innovation and technology transfer, and supports core medical research program augmentation opportunities provided by special types of funding such as congressional special interest, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, Joint Incentive Funds (JIF), and through leveraging other federal partner programs. The focus is generally at both ends of the research spectrum, from supporting high-risk innovative research to placing those innovations into the hands of the Warfighter (i.e., transition to military applications and institutionalization of research products and findings).
