Techbase Medical Defense (Applied Research)

Abstract

Project TM2 provides for applied research for innovative technology approaches to advance medical systems designed to rapidly identify, diagnose, prevent, and treat disease due to exposure to chemical and biological threat agents. Project NT2, Techbase Non-Traditional Agents Defense, will merge into this Project starting in FY21. Individual efforts in this project include: - Core science efforts in Medical Chemical, Medical Biological, Diagnostics, and Medical Countermeasures. - Supports applied research for the investigation of new medical countermeasures to include prophylaxes, pretreatments, antidotes, skin decontaminants, and therapeutic drugs against identified and emerging biological and chemical warfare agents. - Medical Science and Technology (S&T) efforts in this Budget Activity refine promising medical initiatives identified in Budget Activity 1, resulting in the development of countermeasures to protect against and treat the effects of exposure to chemical and biological (CB) agents. - Diagnostic research focuses on providing high quality data closer to the point-of-need comprising device innovation, panels of biomarkers driven by bioinformatics, and epidemiological modeling tools. FY21-22 reorganizes, renames legacy Bullet titles and introduces new Bullets (Thrust Areas). These new "Thrust" titles are in line with the CBDP Core Capability Areas and intended to provide more detail and traceability from the S&T program to advanced development.
