Description
FY21 JWMRP Advancement of Previous Department of Defense (DoD) or Service Funded Medical Research and Development (R&D) Projects
The Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program (JWMRP), managed by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) at the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), provides an opportunity to advance previously funded DoD or Service medical R&D projects that address the medical requirements of the Services. The JWMRP complements and enhances the Defense Health Program by facilitating the further development of promising industry and academic efforts. Each year a broad spectrum of R&D initiatives are considered under the JWMRP. The science and technology development efforts are aligned to one of the six Joint Program Committee (JPC) scientific domains. These are: Medical Simulation and Information Sciences (JPC-1), Military Infectious Diseases (JPC-2), Military Operational Medicine (JPC-5), Combat Casualty Care (JPC-6), and Radiation Health Effects (JPC-7). Through research efforts focused in advanced technology development and product demonstration and validation, the JWMRP offers a pathway to transition maturing medical solutions to the Military Health System (MHS) for the benefit of our Service members and other MHS beneficiaries. In accordance with the Congressional language, the funds appropriated for the JWMRP shall be used to augment and accelerate high priority DoD and Service medical requirements and to continue prior year initiatives that are close to achieving their objectives and yield a benefit to military medicine. These funds shall not be used for new projects or for basic research.
The Fiscal Year 2021 JWMRP has requirements in the following areas:
- Medical Simulation and Information Sciences Research Program
- Military Infectious Diseases Research Program
- Military Operational Medicine Research Program
- Combat Casualty Care Research Program
- Radiation Health Effects Research Program
