Summary

The Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Military Burn Research Program (MBRP) Patient-Centered Research Award (PCRA) seeks to fund patient-centered clinical research and clinical trials to bridge the gap between new burn care knowledge and its implementation in austere, resource-limited military operational environments. This award explicitly prohibits preclinical or animal research, focusing instead on prospective or retrospective studies with human subjects or data. Proposed projects must address at least one focus area, such as cold injury, acute burn care in combat settings, managing complications (e.g., fluid resuscitation, sepsis, fungal infections), or early interventions to prevent chronic issues like pain and neuropathy. The program anticipates funding approximately two awards for up to four years, with a total cost cap of $1.6M for a standard award. A new Mentorship Option is available with a $1.8M cap, designed to support an experienced PI mentoring one or two junior researchers. Eligible applicants include a wide range of domestic and foreign organizations. Key submission deadlines are July 7, 2026, for pre-applications and October 21, 2026, for invited full applications.

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.
