Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity - DHACA

Description

This Program Announcement (PA) seeks to establish a Combat Casualty Training Consortium (CCTC). The US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is soliciting full proposals to address the needs identified below. The results of these efforts are intended to ensure and sustain combat readiness and save lives through well validated training methodologies. The CCTC, which is intended to be formed as a result of awards made in response to this PA, is focused on militarily relevant trauma training. In the short-term (1-2 years), the CCTC seeks to validate both live tissue training methodologies and simulator based training alternatives, with the goal of making a statistically validcomparison of their effectiveness and transfer. This will require applications of metrics developed and validated by the sub-awardees and overseen by the CCTC and guided by military Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Midtermgoals (up to 3 years) include evaluation of training retention and identification of existing simulator gaps for the purpose of future research and development of simulator systems that have the potential to replace thepresumed gold standard of animal/live tissue training.
