Resuscitation and Prevention of Ischemia-Induced Dysfunction (RAPIID) - TA1/TA2

UPDATE: Clarification regarding program coordination across Task Areas (Sections 1.3 and 2.5), clarification of the acquisition strategy (Section 2.1), and removal of broken links to tables, figures, and footnotes. The Resuscitation and Prevention of Ischemia-induced Dysfunction (RAPIID) program seeks to deliver a transformative, end-to-end resuscitation system that redefines far-forward trauma care. RAPIID aims for this system to be fieldable, usable, and scalable, providing a capability equivalent or superior to stored whole blood in early resuscitation while removing dependence on cold chain and donor logistics. RAPIID seeks to do this by developing a blood analog system (BAS) comprising sequentially administered blood analog components, integrated with ruggedized delivery formats, point-of-care diagnostics, and clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). To maximize post-program viability of developed products, RAPIID will develop and execute effective regulatory and commercialization strategies and accelerate advanced development through technology readiness level (TRL) 7 (Scale-up and Phase II Clinical Trials)1 for blood analog components and TRL 8 (Clinical Studies)2 for devices and diagnostics. This solicitation is to request proposals addressing ONLY Phase 1 of Task Area (TA)-1 and/or TA-2.
