This is a Department of Defense medical research grant for translational trauma care work already at technology or knowledge readiness level 4 or higher, with preliminary data in hand. It fits biomedical researchers, medtech developers, and small businesses with mature trauma care technologies aimed at casualty survivability and point-of-injury care. If your work is early-stage research, basic science, or anything outside trauma care and military medicine, do not bother.

DoD Combat Readiness Medical Research Program Translational Research Award funds hypothesis-driven translational research (TRL/KRL 4+) to advance trauma care solutions improving casualty survivability and point-of-injury care. Eligibility is unrestricted; any entity type, including small businesses and for-profits, may apply. Preliminary data required; 3 awards, ~$4.37M total.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program (CRRP) Translational Research Award (TRA) supports hypothesis-driven innovative, high-impact translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas and/or technologies in trauma care into solutions to maximize casualty survivability, improve patient care closer to the point of injury and/or trauma care guidelines. Preliminary data are required. Research using well-validated animal models is allowed.
Distinctive Features:
• **NEW for FY26** An investigator may be named as the Principal Investigator (PI) on only one FY26 CRRP TRA application.
• Research supported by the FY26 CRRP TRA must represent a mature, translational research effort with a minimum biomedical technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 or knowledge readiness level (KRL) of 4.
The listing does not include detailed eligibility text. Check the official listing before you apply.
