DoW Joint Warfighter Medical, Military Medical Research and Development Award

The DoW Joint Warfighter Medical, Military Medical Research and Development Award is a funding opportunity that aims to support the logical continuation of previous Department of War-funded research and development efforts. The award mechanism is intended to fund projects that augment and accelerate high-priority medical requirements to meet the needs of Service Members and other Military Health System beneficiaries. The projects must be relevant to at least one of the FY26 JWMRP focus areas. Some key points to consider: • The award supports a wide range of research projects, including late-stage preclinical studies, late-state technology development efforts, technology demonstration, translational, and clinical research. • To be eligible for JWMRP funding, applicants must have already received DOD/DOW core or DOD/DOW Congressional Special Interest funding. • An MMRDA Clinical Research or Clinical Trial Option is available to support clinical research, observational studies, and correlative studies. • The estimated funding for this opportunity is $8,800,000, and the award ceiling and floor are not specified.
