DOD Toxic Exposures, Investigator-Initiated Research Award
Funding Agency:
- Department of Defense
Applications to the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) Toxic Exposures Research Program (TERP) are being solicited by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) using delegated authority provided by United States Code, Title 10, Section 4001 (10 USC 4001). The execution management agent for this program announcement is the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC). The TERP was initiated in 2022 to improve the scientific understanding of pathobiology from toxic exposures, more efficiently assess comorbidities, and speed the development of treatments, cures, and preventions. The FY22 appropriation is $30 million (M). In June 2022, the TERP held a stakeholders meeting to engage consumers impacted by toxic exposures, advocates, other federal funders, and academic, clinical, and military subject matter experts across various fields of toxic exposures in an open dialogue forum to identify critical issues and underfunded areas in toxic exposure research and patient care. Outcomes from this meeting were considered by the TERP Programmatic Panel in developing the FY22 program. The FY22 TERP Stakeholders Booklet and Meeting Summary, including presentation materials can be found at https://cdmrp.health.mil/terp/. The vision of the TERP is to minimize and mitigate the impact of military-relevant toxic exposures and improve the quality of life of those affected. The mission of the TERP is to support innovative and impactful research aimed at identifying and understanding the pathological mechanisms, outcomes and comorbidities associated with toxic exposures in order to facilitate the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the invisible and visible diseases and symptoms that are associated with toxic effects impacting Service Members, Veterans and the American public.
