Deployment Related Medical Research Program

The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs began managing the Department of Defense Deployment Related Medical Research Program (DRMRP) in fiscal year 2008 (FY 08), in response to the supplemental appropriations bill, Public Law 110-252. This program was established to address the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and mitigation of deployment-related injuries and psychological health concerns of deployed military personnel. The FY 08 DRMRP specified the following research topic areas: blood safety and blood products; final development of medical devices for use in theater (including portable suction machines and EKGs for theater hospitals); trauma treatment and rehabilitation (including face, visual/ocular and nerve damage, dental, and auditory systems); traumatic brain injury and psychological health (including post traumatic stress disorder); injury prevention; wound infection and healing; and wound infection vaccines.
