Description
Impact Award
The FY26 PRMRP Impact Award supports applied research, defined as use-inspired and
practice-oriented science that brings together outcomes from basic research, and insights from
the real-world environment, to foster clinical applicability. The Impact Award intends to translate
the fundamental understanding of underlying mechanisms toward clinical applications that have
the potential for major near-term impact on patients and have clear alignment to one of the
congressionally directed FY26 PRMRP Topic Areas.
Lifestyle and Applied Health Research Award
The FY26 PRMRP Lifestyle and Applied Health Research Award (LAHRA) supports clinical
research and/or clinical trials using a combination of scientific disciplines including occupational
science, psychology, psychometrics, biostatistics and epidemiology, surveillance,
implementation science, and population health. Applications are required to address and
provide a solution to one of the congressionally directed FY26 PRMRP Topic Areas and one of
the FY26 PRMRP Strategic Goals.
The FY26 PRMRP LAHRA mechanism intends to promote evidence-based and patientcentered approaches to improve health and/or disease-related outcomes and enhance the
patient experience in defined populations.
Technology/Therapeutic Development Award
The PRMRP TTDA, a product-driven award mechanism, intends to support the translation of
promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications, including prevention,
detection, diagnosis, treatment, or quality of life, for a disease or condition related to one of the
congressionally directed FY26 PRMRP topic areas and one of the FY26 PRMRP portfoliospecific strategic goals. The proposed experiments may be hypothesis or milestone driven, and
should encompass all of the experiments necessary to move the product into clinical trials or
implementation into clinical practice. Products in development should address or have dual
purpose potential for the health care needs of military Service Members, Veterans and their
Families. Products can be tangible items, such as drugs or devices, or can be knowledge
products, such as clinical decision-making tools or practice guidelines.
