Military Medical Photonics Program

AFOSR is seeking unclassified proposals primarily from university based medical institutions for broad based research and development aimed at using lasers and other light source technology to develop applications in medicine, photobiology, surgery, and closely related materials sciences, with applications to combat casualty care and other military medical problems. However, there is no formal restriction on who may propose. Proposals for work of up to three years duration to be conducted by interdisciplinary teams of physicians, biomedical scientists, physical scientists, and engineers will receive the highest priority. Proposals will be evaluated by peer review according to the criteria provided below. Awards under this BAA may take the form of grants or contracts.
