Through new applications of advanced science and medicine, the DoD (Department of Defense) manages collaborative research that discovers, develops, and delivers biomedical solutions for Service Members, Veterans, and the American public. This includes potential solutions arising from biopharma, medtech, digital health research, and more.

Representatives from the DoD CDMRP (Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs) funding organization and USARIEM (the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine) research laboratories, both within the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, will join this panel to seek out opportunities to inform and engage with representatives from both industry and academia. Tune in and learn about the variety of research programs of interest to the DoD and Congress, funding and partnering opportunities, as well as technology available for transfer/licensing. Find out what program areas might be a good fit for your research and participate in Q&A with representatives from their Natick or Fort Detrick branches. See what technologies are available for collaboration or out-licensing and get information on how and when to apply for research funding.

If you would like to get more information before the forum please contact forums@massbio.org and we can connect you to the appropriate DoD personnel.

NOTE: MassBio makes every effort to accommodate our entire community at each of our events. Please let us know at least 3 days in advance of the event if you require special accommodations, such as captioning.
