of the Congressionally directed FY20 PRMRP Topic Areas.
Products in development should be responsive to the healthcare needs of military Service members, Veterans, and/or beneficiaries.The product(s) to be developed may be a tangible item such as a pharmacologic agent (drugs or biologics) or device, or a knowledge-based product.
(A “Knowledge Product” is a non-materiel product that addresses an identified need in a Topic Area, is based on current evidence and research, aims to transition into medical practice, training, tools, or to support materiel solutions [systems to develop, acquire, provide, and sustain medical solutions and capabilities], and educates or impacts behavior throughout the continuum of care, including primary prevention of negative outcomes.) The Principal Investigator (PI) must provide a transition plan (including potential funding and resources, see Attachment 8) showing how the product will progress to the next level of development (e.g., clinical trials, delivery to the military or civilian market) after the completion of the PRMRP award.
PIs are encouraged to develop relationships with industry and/or other funding agencies to facilitate moving the product into the next phase of development.
