DoD Military Burn Research Program

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $200,000.
Purpose:  The FY25 MBRP Discovery Award is intended to support innovative, untested, non-incremental, groundbreaking research that provides new insights, paradigms, technologies, or applications in combat-relevant burn care. The proposed project may be exploratory, hypothesis-driven, or hypothesis-generating research but must be novel and must be based on a strong scientific rationale and logical reasoning with a well-developed study design, methodology, and data analysis plan. The MBRP expects studies supported by this award to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation or product development for burn care delivered in an austere, resource-limited, distributed combat operational environment.
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be PI.
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to hold independent positions.
Timeline:
REQUIRED Pre-Application (Pre-Proposal) Deadline: June 23, 2025 via eBrap

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $1.7M.
Purpose:  Robust information, tools, and interventions have been successfully evaluated within the civilian burn care setting, but the development of knowledge to support their broader dissemination and implementation into combat burn care has often remained outside the scope of previous clinically focused award mechanisms. The FY25 MBRP PCRA seeks to bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy by building 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, distributed operational environment at the point of need.
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be PI.
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to hold independent positions.
