Opportunity Summary:
The Applied Research and Technology Development Award (ARATDA) opportunity under the Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP) focuses on advancing military-relevant medical science, with particular emphasis on psychological health, polytrauma, and operational health needs that reflect modern battlefield realities. Sponsored through the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs within the Defense Health Program Medical Research and Development Office, this funding call is designed to support applied research and advanced technology development projects that can move beyond basic discovery and toward solutions that are practical, fieldable, and capable of being integrated into real-world military medical settings. A central theme of the announcement is supporting capability needs aligned with the Joint Force Health Protection (JFHP) Concept of Operations (CONOPS), meaning proposed work is expected to connect clearly to operational requirements and use cases relevant to the Joint Force.
The program’s core intent is to accelerate progress in areas of pressing concern for service members and the Military Health System, including (as highlighted in the announcement) psychological health and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The broader objective is twofold: first, to discover and explore innovative approaches that protect, support, and improve the health and welfare of military personnel, their families, and their communities; and second, to speed the transition of medical technologies into deployment and the translation of scientific advances into improved standards of care. In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward work that can contribute to prevention of injury, better treatment of casualties, more effective rehabilitation, and improvements in training systems. The announcement explicitly notes that outcomes should be applicable either in theater (deployed environments) or within the clinical facilities of the Military Health System, reinforcing an expectation that proposed projects demonstrate a credible pathway to use in operational and/or clinical practice rather than remaining purely academic.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered through either a cooperative agreement or a grant mechanism, and it sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The funding opportunity number is W81XWH 12 MOMJPC ARATDA, and the CFDA listing associated with it is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The Army, through USAMRAA, is the listed agency. The program anticipated making approximately four awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. Individual awards could be as large as $750,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can make it more accessible for applicants who may not have institutional resources to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. Key dates show it was posted on September 15, 2011, with an original closing date of December 30, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of January 6, 2012, and it was archived on January 29, 2012. For applicants or interested parties who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Mary Rico, Account Manager, associated with the MOMJPC ARATDA PHPOH effort.
