This is a Defense Health Agency award for clinical research or clinical trials on burn care in austere, resource-limited military settings — not lab or animal work. With about $3.4M total and roughly 2 awards, it suits established clinical researchers and teams, including a mentorship track pairing a senior researcher with junior mentees. Retail, construction, logistics, and most ordinary small businesses with no clinical research capability should not bother.

FY26 Military Burn Research Program Patient-Centered Research Award funds clinical research or clinical trials (no preclinical/animal research) on burn care interventions, practices, guidelines, tools, and policies for austere, resource-limited military operational environments. Eligibility unrestricted; any entity type may apply. ~$3.4M total, 2 awards, mentorship option available.
Summary: Despite significant research investment in combat-relevant burn care, a disparity exists between newly discovered knowledge in burn care and its implementation into clinical practice across the distributed operational battlespace. The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Patient-Centered Research Award (PCRA) seeks to bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy by developing a knowledge base that provides clinically useful findings about how interventions, clinical practices, guidelines, tools, and policies can be deployed to burn patients in an austere, resource-limited, military operational environment. Distinctive Features: · This award mechanism must support clinical research or clinical trials but cannot support preclinical or animal research . Applications may propose prospective or retrospective research involving human subjects or human subject data. · New for FY26: The FY26 PCRA offers a Mentorship Option at a higher funding level to support a synergistic relationship between an experienced researcher (Mentor) and one to two junior researchers (Mentees). The dual purpose of this award is to fund a primary research study addressing a critical gap in combat burn care while simultaneously fostering the development of the next generation of military burn research leaders.
