This is a federal award for translating preclinical burn-care research into actual products—devices, drugs, or clinical practice guidelines—for military use in austere, resource-limited settings. It is for organizations with existing burn-care research findings ready to move toward clinical application, not for companies with a general product idea or no burn research background. If your work has nothing to do with burn care or military medicine, do not bother applying.

Funds translation of promising preclinical burn-care findings into products—medical devices, drugs, clinical practice guidelines—for use in austere, resource-limited military operational settings. Open to any entity type, including small businesses, for-profits, universities, nonprofits, and individuals; a mentorship option supports junior military burn researchers.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) is a burn-focused, product-driven award mechanism intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into burn products for clinical application in an austere, resource-limited, distributed operational environment.
Distinctive Features: The technology or therapeutic product(s) to be developed must be product-oriented (e.g., medical device, drug, or clinical practice guidelines involving a therapeutic or technology). The product(s) to be developed may be tangible or knowledge supporting the development of a tangible product and must address one or more of the FY26 MBRP TTDA focus areas. Knowledge products are allowable, provided that the knowledge is applicable to a technology or therapeutic under development. (A “knowledge product” is a non-tangible, non-materiel product that results from research with the potential to improve individual or public health.)
· New for FY26: The FY26 MBRP TTDA 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.
