Description

The Department of Defense's Fiscal Year 2027 Deployed Warfighter Protection Program seeks original, product-oriented research addressing arthropod threats to deployed military personnel. Eligible projects must support advanced technology development, generally aligned with Technology Readiness Levels 4 through 6, and address at least one focus area: bite prevention, vector control, decision-support tools or software, vector surveillance and identification, or vector-pathogen diagnostics. Proposed outcomes may include new insecticides or improved formulations, personal protection technologies, pesticide-application equipment, surveillance tools, diagnostic technologies, and related prototypes or field evaluations. Research should be relevant to military and civilian use, austere operational environments, and multiple arthropod species where applicable. Fundamental basic research, clinical or therapeutic research, vector-pathogen research, manufacturing, and several categories of commercial-product testing are excluded. The opportunity uses a two-step application process. Applicants must submit a pre-application followed, by invitation only, by a full application. Full applications require a project narrative, supporting documentation, technical abstract, statement of work, personnel and organization information, transition plan, applicable budget materials, biographical sketches, current and pending support, and standard federal application forms. The maximum period of performance is 36 months, and total proposed costs may not exceed $975,000, or $325,000 per 12-month period. Animal or human-subject research requires applicable institutional and Department of Defense reviews and approvals.
