Purpose
This solicitation, issued by MTEC, represents a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) for MTEC support of the Department of Defense (DoD), USAMRDC Military Operational Medicine Research Program’s (MOMRP’s) objective to improve physiological health and psychological health and resilience. Strategic oversight for the award(s) supported by this RPP will be provided by the Military Operational Medicine Program Area Directorate and the Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP).
This RPP specifically targets solutions to the following Focus Areas (see Section 4 for more details):
- FOCUS AREA #1 - Whole Body Blast: Development of survivability criteria and vital organ injury metrics for the whole body when exposed to extreme blast exposures (e.g., IEDs).
- FOCUS AREA #2 - Cognitive / Brain Health & Performance: Development and validation of personalized training or materiel (pharmacological/technological) approaches to build and enhance cognitive/brain health, performance and psychological health.
To meet the intent of this RPP, proposed prototype solutions must address exactly one of the two Focus areas listed above.
Note: Pending successful completion of this effort, the Government may issue a noncompetitive follow-on production contract or transaction pursuant to 10 USC 2371b section f.
