Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program (JWMRP)

The Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program (JWMRP) is a CDMRP bridge program under the Army Medical Research and Development Command. It is built for military medicine projects that already received DoD support and are close to completion, with FY26 funding at $10 million. JWMRP uses a single Military Medical Research and Development Award mechanism. Standard awards reach $1.25 million over three years, while projects with a clinical research or trial component can reach $3 million over three years. The program requires Technology Readiness Level 5 or above at application time, and it is open to extramural and intramural researchers at all career stages. For-profit, nonprofit, university, and research organization applicants are eligible; individuals are not. This is a late-stage continuation route, so the best submissions are those with prior DoD funding, a clear finish-line plan, and a project already far enough along to justify bridge support. New starts and basic research do not belong here. Applicants who can show near-completion status, a credible clinical or operational path, and a specific military medicine payoff will be best aligned with the program's purpose.
