Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the
Fiscal Years 2016-2017 (FY16-FY17) Joint Program Committee 1 (JPC-1)/Medical Simulation
and Information Sciences (MSIS) Research Program, Health Information Technologies and
Informatics (HITI) Hands-Free Electronic Health Record Data Entry Initiative (HFEHRI). This
BAA must be read in conjunction with the submission guidelines in Grants.gov/Apply for Grants (hereinafter called Grants.gov/Apply). It must also be read in conjunction with the document
titled “General Submission Instructions” available with this BAA in Grants.gov.

Proposals/applications to the FY16-17 JPC-1/MSIS HFEHRI are being solicited for the Defense
Health Agency, Research, Development, and Acquisition (DHA RDA) Directorate by the U.S.
Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). As directed by the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs [OASD(HA)], the DHA RDA Directorate
manages and executes the Defense Health Program (DHP) Research, Development, Test, and
Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command
(USAMRMC), Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) provides
Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP) execution management support
for DHP core research program areas, including JPC-1/MSIS. CDMRP is the execution
management agent for this BAA and will provide management support for subsequent awards
with strategic oversight from JPC-1/MSIS.
The mission of the JPC-1 HITI is to facilitate scientific studies and promote advances in
software, information technology, medical informatics, and analytics in both garrison (fixed
facilities) and theater (military combat and operational environments). Advances generated will
intersect with the Military Health System (MHS) Information Technology strategy at multiple
points. The HITI portfolio is developed, shaped, customized, and administered to address
evolving needs across the MHS enterprise. There are four research domains within the HITI:

(1) Theater/Operational Medicine – Research to enhance the efficiency of healthcare
operations in combat and operational environments to ensure the delivery of high-quality
healthcare services by improving information accessibility and by providing better
decision support for clinicians

(2) Military Health Care Services – Research to promote, improve, conserve, or restore the
mental or physical well-being of personnel through improved information management
and technologies

(3) Medical Resourcing – Research initiatives to improve the management of human and
financial healthcare resources

(4) Information Technology Infrastructure and Data Management – Research to improve the
management of IT and communications infrastructure, healthcare data management, and
architecture
