The Department of Defense is offering the Combat Casualty Training Initiative Virtual Tissue Advancement Research Grant in FY14. This grant aims to improve virtual tissue technology for surgical and interventional procedure simulations in military medical training. Research projects will focus on enhancing realism in virtual human tissue interactions, organ properties, and anatomical structures. Development of an open access interactive research library prototype is encouraged. The ultimate goal is to provide realistic surgical and interventional simulations for superior training experiences. Applicants are encouraged to adopt open access and open source approaches. The grant application deadline is June 25, 2014.

| Description: | The Combat Casualty Training Initiative (CCTI) Virtual Tissue Advancement Research Program Announcement is being offered for the first time in FY14. It seeks to advance the state of research under the CCTI by advancing the state of virtual tissues for use in surgical and other interventional procedure and skill simulation systems. The CCTI is primarily focused on the research and, ultimately, the development of medical training methods, technologies, systems, and competency assessment tools for the attainment and sustainment of military medical readiness. The CCTI advances these goals through research and development projects related to trauma care, surgical procedures, general surgery, and interventional procedures / skills. The results of this effort are intended to improve the fidelity of virtual reality human tissue and anatomical interactions to further the abilities to construct realistic procedural surgical and interventional training systems. It is anticipated that research will lead to better methods to accurately simulate regional anatomic interactions, aggregated tissues (where different tissues connect and interact with each other), organ and structure interactions, organ physical properties as well as structure and tissue properties (here-in-after referred to as human tissue). Research of the human tissue properties should include a prototype online interactive knowledge repository or library. Inclusion of an open access interactive research library prototype as part of the research effort will greatly expand the impact of the research. It is also envisioned that such research will lead to more realistic acting surgical and interventional-type simulations for the purposes of providing superior contact, cutting, dissection, approximation, movement and deformation properties that can be measured graphically and haptically against known and, insome instances, currently unknown physical standards. Open access, open source or open modelapproaches are highly encouraged. This announcement is not an attempt to rid the art of creating medical models, but to provide theopportunity for developers and end-users to eventually have access to validated human tissues to create models for the purposes of medical training and education. |
