MTEC Prototype Acceleration Award - 2017

Purpose

This solicitation, issued by MTEC, is a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) with U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) technology objectives. Military relevance is a critical component of proposal submission. Strategic oversight for the award(s) supported by this RPP will be provided by the USAMRMC.

The USAMRMC is establishing the Prototype Acceleration Award (PAA) mechanism to be offered exclusively to MTEC members. The PAA mechanism focuses on advancing novel prototype technologies into the next major stage of development or next major milestone dependent upon their current maturity. Examples of the next major stage of development/milestone include, but are not limited to: late animal testing and regulatory filing; manufacturing; next clinical trial; regulatory approval; etc. To be eligible, prototypes must fulfill a recognized research need/capability gap as described in Section 3.2 and must be (at a minimum) at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4. The research proposed should have an end goal of advancing the technology to the next major stage of development/next major milestone within a 12-month period of performance. Total costs for an award (direct and indirect) may range from $150,000 - $300,000.
