Summary

The Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Discovery Award, funding opportunity HT942526MBRPDA, supports innovative, high-risk/high-reward research into combat-relevant burn care. The award is intended for new, exploratory concepts that will provide foundational data for future translational or clinical studies, with an emphasis on innovation over incremental advancements. The program plans to allot approximately $400,000 to fund about two awards, with a maximum of $200,000 in total costs per award over a 2-year period. Proposed projects must address at least one specified focus area, such as cold injury complications, acute burn care in combat, burn-related complications (sepsis, inhalation injury), or interventions to mitigate chronic pain, all within the context of an austere, resource-limited military environment. Clinical trials are prohibited, but non-interventional clinical research is allowed. Pre-applications are due July 7, 2026, and invited full applications are due October 21, 2026.

Focus Areas

Example Priorities:

Development and/or validation of methods to triage, treat and/or prevent complications of cold injury.
Research to innovate best practices in the acute burn care continuum in a combat setting.
Development and/or validation of methods for use in a combat setting to prevent, assess and/or treat burn injury-related complications, including: Over/under fluid resuscitation, Endotheliopathy, Sepsis, Inhalation injuries, Fungal infections, Hypermetabolism.
Interventions applied during the early, acute phase of burn injury that prevent or mitigate later development of chronic pain, neuropathy, pruritus and temperature dysregulation.
