AI Contract Overview
The fiscal year 2026 Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program Health Services Research Award (HSRA), solicitation number HT942526TBIPHRP, is a funding opportunity managed by the Defense Health Agency under the Department of Defense. The program aims to fund high-impact health services research that bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy. Specifically, it supports comparative effectiveness research, the implementation of diagnostics and clinical guidelines, and the validation of data science insights. The program intends to allot approximately 8 million dollars to support two awards, with a maximum of 4 million dollars each over a four-year period of performance. Eligible applications must include clinical research or clinical trials involving human subjects, data, or anatomical substances, and must provide preliminary data. While community-based participatory research is required for prospective human subject enrollment, basic, preclinical, and animal research are strictly prohibited. Additionally, research involving directed energy, anomalous health incidents, or Havana syndrome is forbidden, and classified research is prohibited. A distinctive Early-Career Investigator Partnering Option allows for two Principal Investigators to receive separate awards if one is an early-career investigator. The application process is a two-step submission requiring a Letter of Intent by September 24, 2026, followed by a full application due October 15, 2026. Submissions are handled via eBRAP for intramural organizations and Grants.gov for extramural organizations. Evaluation follows a two-tier process: a peer review for technical merit, focusing heavily on impact and research strategy, and a programmatic review for relevance to military health. Awardees must disclose all foreign affiliations of key personnel and are required to share clinical research data with at least 50 subjects through the FITBIR or NDA repositories annually.
