Military Infectious Disease - Prototype Innovation Program (MID-PIP)

Purpose

This solicitation, issued by MTEC, represents a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) for MTEC support of the USAMRDC Military Infectious Disease Research Program (MIDRP). Military relevance is a critical component of the proposal submission strategic oversight for the award(s) supported by this RPP will be provided by the MIDRP staff and Joint Program Committee (JPC)-2.

The goal of this “Military Infectious Disease - Prototype Innovation Program (MID-PIP)” is to develop the following 4 prototypes:

• FOCUS AREA #1 - Diagnostic: A point-of-care device to detect the presence of microbial infection.
• FOCUS AREA #2 - mAbs: Generation of high affinity monoclonal antibodies to four bacterial antigens for the prevention and treatment of bacterial wound infections and sepsis.
• FOCUS AREA #3 - HIV: A single administration escape-resistant therapy for HIV control.
• FOCUS AREA #4 - Biofilm: Clinical evaluation of products to treat biofilm-mediated antibiotic-resistant infections in non-healing chronic wounds.
