DOW Combat Readiness - Medical Research Program Translational Research Award
Funds translational trauma-care research moving a mature idea toward better survival and care right after injury.
Most of what could save a badly injured person's life has to work in the first minutes and hours after the injury happens — closer to the point of injury than most research ever reaches. This award funds closing that distance.
It funds hypothesis-driven, high-impact translational research that moves a promising idea or technology in trauma care toward an actual solution: maximizing casualty survi…
Translational trauma-care research moving a mature idea or technology, at a minimum biomedical technology or knowledge readiness level of 4, toward maximizing casualty survivability, improving care closer to the point of injury, or improving trauma care guidelines. Preliminary data are required; well-validated animal models are allowed.
