The Department of Defense is offering the ADAPTER Grant to address critical challenges faced by warfighters, such as traveler’s diarrhea and jet lag, impacting mission success. The ADvanced Acclimation and Protection Tool for Environmental Readiness (ADAPTER) program aims to empower warfighters with control over their physiology using engineered cells and biochemicals. This grant will support the development of systems within an internal, bioelectronics carrier, enabling warfighters to trigger the production of specific therapies to combat pathogenic bacteria or regulate disrupted circadian rhythms. Closing date for applications is June 18, 2020.

| Description: | While jet lag and traveler’s diarrhea are inconveniences for an average traveler, they are critical challenges to operational readiness for a warfighter and can be the difference between mission success or failure. To maximize warfighter performance, the ADvanced Acclimation and Protection Tool for Environmental Readiness (ADAPTER) program will develop systems to provide warfighters control over their own physiology. This program will integrate engineered cells and biochemicals into an internal, bioelectronics carrier that the warfighter can signal, as needed, to initiate the production and release of therapies that either eliminate the principal cause of traveler’s diarrhea – pathogenic bacteria – or regulate disrupted circadian rhythms caused by jetlag or shift work schedules. |
