DOD Combat Readiness—Medical Research Program (CRRP) – Application
Well-being, Health and Biomedical Discovery
Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire with unit
Memorial Deadline: Friday 13th, November 2026
External Deadline: Wednesday 18th, November 2026
Description
The CDMRP’s CRRP focuses on research relating to forward-deployable solutions that can promptly address life threatening injuries and medical diagnostics, threats, and treatments, and medical threats and treatments for Service members in battlefield settings.
Translational Research Award
The FY26 CRRP TRA intends to support mature high-impact translational research that will
accelerate innovative ideas into clinical applications, including health care products,
technologies and/or practice guidelines. Research funded under this award mechanism will be
hypothesis-driven, high-impact applied research that is relevant to Service Members, with the
potential for benefit among Veterans, military beneficiaries and the American public.
Submissions that propose solutions to advance civilian trauma care are not precluded. Trauma
care in complex and austere environments is not unique to military contexts. Civilian emergency
medical care provided in rural settings or during natural disasters, public health crises and
mass-casualty events draws on lessons learned in battlefield medicine. Solutions addressing
medical challenges during combat operations have potential for integration into civilian-based
practices to address health security threats and support a goal of zero preventable deaths,
regardless of environment. The CRRP expects the innovative approaches and technologies
developed with CRRP funding to improve survivability of injuries sustained in both
combat and civilian settings.
