A Note from MTEC President Bill Howell
MTEC STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
MTEC continues to review how we can provide greater benefits to our stakeholders – the military medical departments and our members, for profit and non-profit alike. Stakeholder interests are firmly intertwined and, to ensure our service to all, MTEC has been advancing a group of strategic initiatives that fall into several different categories described below. You’ll hear more about each by the end of the 4th quarter.
Foundation Relationship Growth: Earlier this year, MTEC announced our joint funding of a mild TBI research solicitation with the Brightfocus Foundation. Commonalities between the MTEC and several medical, non-profit research organizations give rise to these opportunities. We are going to conduct a greater canvassing of this sector of medical research for two major reasons: (1) grow the name of MTEC within the respective non-profit technology provider networks for the potential of new emerging technologies and (2) provide further solicitation offerings to MTEC members with these “partner” foundations. Susan Raymond, MTEC’s Director of Strategic Funding, will lead this charge. Susan has already developed a delineated list of potential foundations to whom she will reach out.
Large Industry Program: MTEC has 54 large industry partners as of October 2021, and each of these are looking for potential pipeline feeders for their own market segments. At our March 2021 Annual Meeting, you heard from three of these companies directly: Sanofi Pasteur, Philips Healthcare and Johnson & Johnson. Our current plan is to expand dramatically upon that start. MTEC will survey our large industry members to ensure that we hear from all of 54 of you so that we can build a “database” of needs. Next, we will review our membership, including small business and university portfolios, to determine where there may be matches. Jill Sorensen, Chief Operating Officer, will manage this Industry Partners Program for MTEC. Large industry members, watch for communication from Jill on exactly this point, due out next week.
M-Corps Development and Implementation: Many small businesses and universities lack the personnel resources to fully staff their research and development teams. Many areas are left to outside consultants as necessary, and they are called upon when needed. Often the shortness of funding makes these engagements less frequent and increases the risk of development path problems. MTEC is building a repository of service support providers in areas such as clinical research, animal research, regulated affairs, engineering and design, contracting manufacturing, business management, and government relations that can be recommended to our members when needed. Moreover, the MTEC board has approved an allocation of funding for members to receive funding assistance for needed services through a grant application process. Rick Satcher, Director of Commercialization, manages this program and will be sending out more information shortly. We are expecting a solicitation to the membership toward the beginning of the new year.
Product Acceleration: In year two of the MTEC program, we published a product acceleration solicitation which was oriented toward small, quickly completed work that could push a development action to the next stage. In so doing, this work would assist in the effort to garner additional funding for the next stage. The initial product acceleration efforts were funded by the federal government. The MTEC Board of Directors has approved an allocation of MTEC funding for FY22 to reinvigorate this opportunity for our members. Dr. Lauren Palestrini, Director of Research Operations, will be managing this program and plans to have proposal instructions out to the membership in the next quarter.
Impact Fund: Over the past few years, we have been exploring leveraging our military non-dilutive funding to attract third party investment for our members. With five years of strong growth, we are starting to see the early workings come to fruition. We have formally started an impact fund initiative, and we have 2-4 potential partners in exploratory discussions. I do not want to put the cart before the horse, as I sometimes optimistically do, but this time I see real opportunities here for our members and the military. The hope is to grow a minimum of $10M and maybe as high as $40M of investor dollars in CY22 that can be applied to member technology development efforts on a case-by-case basis. Of course, this is investment type dollars, so please be advised, no free lunches here. There will be terms for return on the investment. Jill Sorensen, Chief Operating Officer, is our lead for this action.
It has been wonderful to see the growth of MTEC where we can act more as an energizer of research. That growth is facilitating the clinical outcomes we seek – improving patients’ lives and restoring health for those injured while serving. Our mission is our motivation, and we are grateful to sponsors, leadership, team and each of you members for driving us forward. Our doors are open. Please be in touch if you have ideas on more that we can do for you.
Yours truly,
Bill Howell

Research Program
Thank you to all that submitted by June 17, 2021 to the MTEC-21-06-MPAI Request for Project Proposals (RPP) entitled, “Military Prototype Advancement Initiative.” As expected, we received a great response! The 21-06-MPAI RPP is temporarily closed to allow for evaluations of already submitted enhanced white papers.
The MPAI solicited for innovative technologies from the public scientific community in response to a broad range of military focus areas and aims to fund projects of varying scope and maturity. This unique solicitation mechanism was implemented to:
- Increase information exchange between the MTEC membership and the military
- Provide feedback to the MTEC membership
- Establish an open window for the military to make awards
- Solicit for key areas to support achievement of the USAMRDC strategic objectives
- Increase diversity in potential Sponsors
We currently are aiming to conclude all evaluations of the first batch and reopen the MPAI with modified focus areas of interest by November 2021. Please reach out to Dr. Gage Greening with questions.

Project Highlights
Several MTEC projects, including those from small businesses and academia, have reached major milestones over the last quarter of business. Below is a sampling of several of these successful projects.
LifeLens Technologies: LifeLens Physiologic Monitoring Platform – Ascent
Assessing Warfighter health readiness in real-time training and operations environments will allow leaders to make data-driven decisions to improve Warfighter performance and safety. LifeLens Technologies is developing the Ascent Platform, which is a wearable sensor with hypoallergenic and stretchable microelectronic components and bioadhesives in a wearable patch configuration. The device was recently demonstrated in a field-testing environment at the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE) at Fort Benning. This platform can remotely monitor and wirelessly transmit to a receiving device to provide physiological data (such as heat strain, cardiac stress, cognitive readiness, respiration, and alertness) for assessing Warfighter health readiness and performance. This project was funded through MTEC-18-07-HRAPS.
Design Interactive: Assessment of Psychological and Physiological Effects of Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is rapidly being adopted by the military for medical training. However, one area of concern is the potential for physiological maladaptation following prolonged AR exposure. To address this, Design Interactive developed the Dual-Adaptation Protocol for Augmented Reality (DAPAR). The DAPAR effort seeks to determine 1) if AR has important negative effects on human physiology and if this negatively impacts training, and 2) develop AR usage protocols, design guidelines, and usability criteria to ensure AR is safe and effective to use in military medical training. Their study demonstrates that AR can disrupt vision, balance, and hand-eye coordination, which can persist after AR exposure ceases. Further study is needed to determine how to promote a seamless transition between AR headsets and the real-world. This project was funded through MTEC 18-09-APPEAR.
University of Pittsburgh: Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine Applications
The military has a need for point-of-injury solutions to induce rapid clotting in low pressure bleeds. In response, the Badylak Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh is developing lightweight, portable and temperature-tolerant hydrogels that can be used at the point-of-care in a wide range of military operations including rapid clotting for the treatment of traumatic injuries on the battlefield. Hydrogels are highly hydrated materials and can be derived from components of the extracellular matrix to facilitate immune activity and act as a scaffold for new cell growth. The hydrogels are designed to be stable, off-the-shelf formulations that are ready-to-use with little training or preparation; and can be easily administered to initiate rapid and sustained hemostasis. This project was funded through MTEC-19-07-Biomfg
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI): Near Full-Body Finite Element Models to Assess Warfighter Injury Risk
Injury threats to the Warfighter will continue to evolve in future multi-domain operations, requiring technological advancements in injury prevention and treatment, medical response planning, and equipment design. In particular, the military is concerned with injuries sustained as a result of blunt impact and blast pressure. In response, the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a computational model of the human body to, among other use cases, assess the injury risk of Behind Armor Blunt Trauma, which is a non-penetrating injury resulting from the rapid deformation of a Warfighter’s armor due to blast or blunt impact. With this computational model, they have developed a rib fracture injury risk analysis in both male and female body types. This project was funded through MTEC-18-04-I-PREDICT.

Charles River Analytics: Mobile System for Trauma Assessment Training (MSTAT)
Medical training for trauma assessment is vital for military medical personnel. It is the first step in saving the lives of wounded Warfighters. In response, Charles River Analytics is developing the Mobile System for Trauma Assessment Training (MSTAT) Virtual Patient platform. MSTAT provides on-demand simulation-based training on virtual patients in a variety of operational environments for medical professionals to practice, rehearse, and refresh the critical skills of primary trauma assessment according to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) for Medical Personnel (TCCC-MP) guidelines. MSTAT then provides an after-action review that shows the virtual patient’s final state and how well the user treated the injuries. MSTAT is currently being developed for Android devices. This project was funded through MTEC-17-08-MultiTopic.

Foundation Highlights
According to data published by Research!America, foundations invested $2.3 billion into medical and health R&D in 2018. Compared to Industry ($129.5 billion) and federal agencies ($43 billion), foundation philanthropy is a small portion of overall funding that flows toward R & D. But it is not the total amount of dollars that makes philanthropy powerful in science; it is the utility of those dollars.
Private philanthropies can often be more flexible – and more willing to take risks – than federal funders, particularly if the donor’s personal interests include the exploration of lesser-known or established areas of science. Individuals and foundations may fund work to test new hypotheses or provide capital for emerging science that established funding sources won’t yet support.
In this way, philanthropy can help to generate the preliminary data needed for projects to compete for federal dollars.
So what are good sources to use in identifying potential philanthropic support?
Foundation Directory Online has information on 240,000 grantmakers and over 27,000,000 grants, pulled from IRS Form 990’s, foundation websites, annual reports, grant applications, and more. It is a comprehensive source of institutional funding sources that is subscription based.
GuideStar is an online database of nonprofit organizations on which you can access IRS Form 990s. While you must register to utilize the database, you may do so without a fee. Once registered, you may review foundations’ Form 990s to see both the size of the grants they are distributing, as well as to whom these grants are going.
Both Foundation Directory Online and GuideStar are now part of Candid, a nonprofit that offers accessible knowledge for the social sector.
Please reach out to Kate Golden on our Foundation Relations team with any questions you have on sourcing philanthropic prospects. Happy hunting!
