The Department of Defense is offering the Bio-MOD grant to develop devices and techniques for on-demand production of multiple protein biologics in response to battlefield threats and medical needs. This grant will support the development of novel genetic engineering methods for synthesizing biologics and portable manufacturing platforms for producing high-quality therapeutics at the point-of-care in urgent situations. The Bio-MOD program aims to enhance battlefield medical supply by enabling quick and tailored responses to emerging medical needs in forward emergency settings and theaters of operation. Applications close on Jun 21, 2012.

| Description:: | The Bio-MOD program seeks to develop devices and techniques to produce multiple protein biologics in response to specific battlefield threats and medical needs. This will be achieved by investing in (1) novel, flexible methodologies for genetic engineering/modification of microbial strains, eukaryotic strains, and/or cell-free systems to synthesize multiple protein-based therapeutics; and (2) flexible and portable device platforms for manufacturing multiple biologics with high purity, efficacy and potency at the point-of-care, in short timeframes, when the specific need arises. Consequently, Bio-MOD will provide a battlefield medical supply for military medics at the front lines of support that is responsive to far-forward emergency settings and emergent in-theater needs. |
