ISA Level I Foundations Course

An online 3-month course consisting of 12 asynchronous weekly modules, weekly group discussions, and case studies to prepare Fellows for roles on Virtual Scientific Advisory Teams.

Virtual Scientific Advisory Teams (SA Teams)

Teams composed of Scientific Advisors, Research Specialists, and Project Managers who assist biomedical companies in accelerating the development of dual-use biomedical technologies.

Scientific Advisor

Provides insights and guidance to biomedical startups to innovate their technology, navigate Federal opportunities, and move from lab to market.

Research Specialist

Performs literature searches, drafts research proposals, identifies funding opportunities, and captures best practices to support biomedical research.

Project Manager

Supports the research and projects of Scientific Advisors and Research Specialists by collecting, analyzing, and compiling information.

DoD SkillBridge Program

A 12-week full-time internship for transitioning Active-Duty Service Members with health or life science backgrounds to serve as Scientific Advisors or Research Specialists.

News & Updates

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has issued a pre-announcement for an upcoming Request for Project Proposals (RPP) focused on developing a Sailor Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Risk Prediction Model for the U.S. Navy.

In 2019, the RAND Corporation introduced Knowledge Readiness Levels (KRLs) in collaboration with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (MRDC). The development of KRLs was inspired by Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) used for materiel products but adapted for knowledge outputs. KRL assessments can be an important part of your MTEC application packages.

By connecting C2-C5 systems with medical information, this enhances decision-making agility and operational resilience through real-time monitoring of key medical data streams such as • Casualty evacuation timelines informed by MEDEVAC tracking • Resource allocation based on medical logistics (e.g., blood, equipment, bed availability) • Health threat mitigation

The recently released FY25 CDMRP Research Programs list highlights a major shift in federal research funding priorities. Due to a 57% funding cut (from $1.509 billion to $650 million), many critical health research areas are no longer funded — including most operational medicine programs (only military burn and toxic exposures programs remain in CDMRP). MTEC represents a possible alternative funding mechanism for the research programs that were cut.

In December 2023, the Combat Readiness - Medical Research Program (CRRP) released its strategic plan to advance battlefield survivability for our Service Members. Guided by congressional priorities, the plan focused on critical areas and technologies—ensuring our warfighters receive cutting-edge medical support in operational settings. However, just a little over one year later, on March 15, 2025, this program has been cut. I listed a few of the DoD and Federal entities who are going to fill the void in military medicine, including MTEC.

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has announced the upcoming Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Testing for Military Readiness Pilot. This initiative aims to demonstrate enhanced PGx use in the Military Health System (MHS) to improve healthcare outcomes for specific conditions.
