A potential request for project proposals for technologies such as point-of-care testing, therapeutics, and patient tracking systems.
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is excited to post this pre-announcement for a potential Request for Project Proposals (RPP) focused on the development of prototypes aimed to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The PRMRP Technology/Therapeutic Development Award is a product-driven award mechanism intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications in one or more Focus Areas published in this funding opportunity for the FY20 PRMRP Topic Areas of Emerging Viral Diseases and/or Respiratory Health. Products in development should be responsive to the healthcare needs of military Service members, Veterans, and/or beneficiaries.
The PRMRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award is intended to support studies that will make an important contribution toward research and/or patient care in one or more Focus Areas published in this Funding Opportunity for the FY20 PRMRP Topic Areas of Emerging Viral Diseases and/or Respiratory Health.
As part of the COVID-19 National Response Team's effort to combat COVID-19, the Department of Defense has created this industry portal as a one-stop shop for defense industry, commercial companies and academia to share creative ideas with federal agencies to combat the virus.
All resources and solutions are welcome from industry, academia, venture capital firms, individual contributors and more. Start by using the Request for Information (RFI) form below to share your capability with the team and explore additional resources further down the page.
The Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) offers the following three opportunities for Emerging Viral Diseases and Respiratory Health with a focus on COVID-19 research. (1) Clinical Trial Award (W81XWH-20-PRMRP-CTA-COV) - preproposal due June 8, 2020 full proposal due June 22, 2020, (2) Investigator Initiated Research Award (W81XWH-20-PRMRP-IIRA-COV) - preproposal due May 28, 2020 full proposal due June 12, 2020, (3) Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (W81XWH-20-PRMRP-TTDA-COV) - preproposal due May 28, 2020 full proposal due June 12, 2020.
The Army is looking for information on innovative medical equipment, therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccines. You must schedule a call for more information (see the website).
Funding for novel conceptual frameworks or theory-based approaches that present disruptive ways of thinking about fundamental scientific problems that have evaded resolution, propose new, paradigm-shifting scientific directions, and/or address fundamental and important questions that are argued to be undervalued by the scientific community. Approaches can include analytical reasoning, calculations, simulations, and thought experiments.
The Army has launched a new prize competition, the xTech COVID-19 Ventilator Challenge to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The Army is seeking out low-cost, readily manufacturable emergency ventilator to quickly augment ventilator capacity in the exigent COIVID-19 pandemic. The ventilator challenge is open to all US-based entities and is currently accepting applications. Submissions that are approved by the judging panel will receive an invitation to conduct a virtual pitch to a panel beginning on April 13, 2020.
