This is a $8,671,014.00 federal contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to Battelle Memorial Institute, a large nonprofit research organization, for the Cornerstone program. The contract has no set-aside designation.
The Cornerstone program aims to develop safe and effective integrated countermeasures, including prophylactic therapeutics and delivery systems, to prevent traumatic brain injury (TBI) in military personnel. The contract involves two technical areas: identifying and validating countermeasures that can block injury response at the site of injury, and developing clinically relevant delivery of those countermeasures. Major subcontractors include the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, UC San Diego, and the University of Tartu, who are conducting research and development on candidate peptide therapeutics and delivery methods. This aligns with DARPA's mission to advance transformative technologies for national security.
