Description

The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program (CRRP) Translational Research Award (TRA) supports hypothesis-driven innovative, high-impact translational research aimed at accelerating the movement of promising ideas and/or technologies in trauma care into solutions to maximize casualty survivability and improve patient care closer to the point of injury and/or trauma care guidelines. Preliminary data are required, and research using well-validated animal models is allowed. The research must represent a mature translational effort with a minimum biomedical technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 or knowledge readiness level (KRL) of 4. Approximately $4.37 million is expected to fund three awards with a total cost cap of $2.45 million per award, including a base award and an optional research effort.
