The USSOCOM is offering a grant for novel biomedical solutions to enhance the performance and save lives of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in challenging field environments. Projects must address the unique requirements of SOF operating in remote, austere locations with limited access to medical care. Desired solutions should prioritize ruggedness, light weight, small volume, and low power usage. Research focusing on improved techniques and procedures is also encouraged. Applicants can find more information on USSOCOM at their website. Application deadline is Oct 12, 2012.

| Description:: | USSOCOM and SOF Unique Requirements. The USSOCOM seeks novel biomedical solutions to preserve the high level of performance and save the lives of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in field environments. Any projects proposed must be unique to the requirements of SOF who typically conduct combat operations in austere, remote locations without timely access to medical evacuation or elevated levels of medical care. It is these far-forward and/or isolated operations that make SOF medicine unique and result in material solutions characterized by ruggedness, light weight, small volume, and low power requirements. USSOCOM is also interested in research that will lead to improved techniques and procedures that do not necessarily require new material. Information on USSOCOM is available at: (http://www.socom.mil/ ) |
