The MBRP CTRA is intended to support the rapid implementation of clinical research (including clinical trials) with the potential to significantly impact burn care by applying promising and well-founded research findings to the care of the burn-injured patient, particularly at the point-ofinjury, or during the early, acute phase of burn injury.
Impact: The overall impact of the proposed research is a key component of this award mechanism. The potential impact of the research, both short-term and long-term, in addressing one or more of the FY22 MBRP Focus Areas should be clearly described. High-impact clinical research will, if successful, significantly advance the burn research field and the care of burninjured patients. To be competitive, the application must include a sound scientific rationale, logical reasoning, and a well-formulated, testable hypothesis.
Relevance to Military Health: The proposed research must be relevant to Service Members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the American public. Investigators are encouraged to consider the following characteristics as examples of how a project may demonstrate relevance to military health: • Explanation of how the project addresses an aspect of burn injuries relevant to the military • Description of how the results of the proposed research will address a military need
Collaborations between researchers at military or Veteran institutions and non-military institutions are strongly encouraged. These relationships can leverage knowledge, infrastructure, and access to unique data and research resources that the partners bring to the research effort, ultimately advancing burn research which is of significance to the Service Member, military families, and the American public.
