Research and Development Services for Research Study titled "Mechanisms of RF Interaction with Biological Systems."

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is seeking information from industry for a research study titled "Mechanisms of RF Interaction with Biological Systems." The study aims to examine the mechanistic interactions between RF overexposure and biological systems in miniature swine animal models. The main objective of this research study is to use clinical evaluation protocols to characterize the biomedical effects of high-power microwave overexposure in Medical Countermeasures of Directed Energy and Unconventionally Acquired Brain Injuries. • The research study will focus on protecting military personnel in a battlespace where directed energy systems are fielded for various purposes. • The study will correlate exposures with novel biomarkers and clinically translatable outcomes. • The research will be conducted at the United States Air Force (USAF) 59th Medical Wing, Science and Technology Office located at Joint Base San Antonio – Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. • Companies are required to submit a Capability Statement that describes relevant experience, expertise, and capabilities based upon the size and scope of this requirement. • The Capability Statement should include company name, mailing address, email address, telephone, website address, and the name, telephone number, and email address of a point of contact.
