About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command is soliciting applications for the Military Burn Research Program Patient-Centered Research Award, a clinical research funding opportunity with a full application due date of October 21, 2026 and a pre-application deadline of July 7, 2026.
Eligible applicants are unrestricted and include extramural and intramural U.S. Department of War organizations, foreign and domestic entities, and for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The award mechanism supports only clinical research or clinical trials; preclinical and animal research are ineligible. Applications may propose prospective or retrospective research involving human subjects or human subject data.
The Department expects to allot approximately $3.4 million to fund roughly two awards. The total cost cap is $1.6 million for the basic award or $1.8 million for the award with the optional Mentorship Component, which supports synergistic relationships between experienced researchers (Mentors) and one to two junior researchers (Mentees) within five years of terminal degree completion. The maximum period of performance is four years, with awards anticipated to be funded no later than September 30, 2027.
The program prioritizes four research areas: development and validation of methods for cold injury triage and treatment; innovations in acute burn care best practices; development and validation of methods to prevent and treat burn injury-related complications including over/under fluid resuscitation, endotheliopathy, sepsis, inhalation injuries, fungal infections, and hypermetabolism; and early acute phase interventions that prevent chronic pain, neuropathy, pruritus, and temperature dysregulation. All research must address critical gaps in combat burn care within austere, resource-limited, distributed operational environments.
Applications undergo two-tier review: peer review in January 2027 and programmatic review in March 2027, evaluating technical merit, military relevance, and alignment with program intent. The funding operates under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Synopsis
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.
