Opportunity Summary:
The JPC1 MedSim Combat Casualty Training Consortium (CCTC) opportunity is a US Department of the Army, US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) program announcement aimed at creating a single, coordinated consortium focused on militarily relevant trauma training. The core intent is to strengthen combat readiness and reduce preventable deaths by improving how combat casualty care is taught and assessed, using training approaches that are not just plausible or widely used, but actually validated with solid evidence and defensible metrics.
At a practical level, the government is looking for one main awardee to stand up and run the consortium and to coordinate sub-awards and study activities under military guidance. The near-term focus (roughly the first 1 to 2 years) is to directly evaluate and validate two broad training approaches: traditional live tissue (animal) training methods and simulator-based alternatives. A major emphasis is on producing a statistically valid comparison of effectiveness and skill transfer, meaning proposals need to go beyond anecdotal preference or subjective instructor opinion and instead use measurable performance outcomes that can stand up to scrutiny. This includes applying objective metrics that are developed and validated by sub-awardees, overseen by the consortium, and guided by military subject matter experts to ensure the work stays tied to real operational needs and realistic trauma scenarios.
The mid-term goals (up to about 3 years) extend beyond initial performance gains to questions the military cares about long after the course ends: how well trainees retain critical skills over time, and where existing simulators fall short when compared to live tissue training. The gap analysis piece is especially important because it is meant to inform future research and development. In other words, the consortium is expected to produce actionable findings that point toward the next generation of simulator systems, with the longer-range goal of developing simulation capabilities that could credibly replace the commonly viewed "gold standard" of animal/live tissue training for certain tasks, while still maintaining or improving training outcomes.
This opportunity was posted July 12, 2010 under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-JPC-MEDSIM-CCTC and is categorized as discretionary funding for science and technology and other research and development. The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement/grant, which typically signals substantial government involvement during execution, consistent with the heavy role of military SMEs and the need for coordinated consortium management. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $15.2 million and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organizations may apply (such as universities, nonprofits, companies, and other entities), subject to any additional eligibility details in the full announcement. The original closing date was September 24, 2010, later extended to November 19, 2010, with an archive date of December 19, 2010. The CFDA program reference is 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development, and the agency contact noted for access issues is Mary Rico, Grants Officer and agency point of contact.

The purpose is to strengthen combat readiness and reduce preventable deaths by improving how combat casualty care is taught and assessed using validated, evidence-based training methods and defensible metrics.
What is the main goal of the consortium?
The main goal is to build and operate one coordinated consortium that can evaluate and validate combat casualty training approaches using solid evidence, objective performance outcomes, and statistically valid comparisons. The consortium is expected to keep the work aligned with real operational needs and realistic trauma scenarios under military guidance.
Who is the sponsoring agency?
The sponsoring agency is the US Department of the Army, US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC).
What is the Funding Opportunity Number?

When was this opportunity posted?
It was posted on July 12, 2010.
What type of funding is this categorized under?
It is categorized as discretionary funding for science and technology and other research and development.
What funding instrument will be used?
The listed funding instrument is a cooperative agreement/grant. This typically indicates substantial government involvement during execution, which matches the stated need for coordinated consortium management and the heavy role of military subject matter experts.
How many awards does the government expect to make?
The expected number of awards is one.
What is the estimated total funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount is $15.2 million.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted. This generally means a wide range of organizations may apply (for example universities, nonprofits, companies, and other entities), subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement.
What is the government looking for the main awardee to do?
The government is looking for one main awardee to stand up and run the consortium, coordinate sub-awards, and coordinate study activities under military guidance.
What are the near-term technical priorities?
The near-term focus (roughly the first 1 to 2 years) is to directly evaluate and validate two broad training approaches: traditional live tissue (animal) training methods and simulator-based alternatives.
What does the announcement mean by a "statistically valid comparison"?
It means proposed evaluations need to go beyond anecdotal preferences or subjective instructor opinions and instead compare training approaches using measurable performance outcomes that can withstand scrutiny. The intent is to demonstrate effectiveness and skill transfer with objective, defensible metrics.
What kinds of metrics does the opportunity emphasize?
The opportunity emphasizes objective metrics that are developed and validated by sub-awardees, overseen by the consortium, and guided by military subject matter experts. The goal is to ensure metrics are tied to operational needs and realistic trauma scenarios.
What are the mid-term goals of the consortium?
The mid-term goals (up to about 3 years) include assessing how well trainees retain critical skills over time and identifying where existing simulators fall short compared to live tissue training.
What is meant by "gap analysis" in this program?
The gap analysis refers to identifying shortcomings of existing simulator-based training when compared to live tissue training. The results are intended to inform future research and development and point toward the next generation of simulator systems.
Is the program trying to replace live tissue (animal) training?
The longer-range intent is to develop simulation capabilities that could credibly replace the commonly viewed "gold standard" of animal/live tissue training for certain tasks, while still maintaining or improving training outcomes. The near-term work is focused on evaluation and validation rather than immediate replacement.
How long is the program effort expected to run based on the described goals?
The description indicates near-term activities over roughly 1 to 2 years and mid-term goals extending to about 3 years.
What CFDA program is associated with this opportunity?
The CFDA program reference is 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development.
