CDMRP Toxic Exposures Research Program: Translational Partnership Research Award

The vision of the TERP is to minimize and mitigate the impact of military-relevant toxic exposures and improve the quality of life of those affected.

2025 topic areas include: 

TA 1: Neurotoxin Exposure

TA 2: Gulf War Illness (GWI) and Its Treatment

TA 3: Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits

TA 4: Other Military Service-Related Toxic Exposures (Prophylactic Medications, Pesticides, Organophosphates, Toxic Industrial Chemicals, Materials, Metals and Minerals)

Applications must address at least one of the FY24 TERP Topic Areas.

The translational partnership award is intended to support translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in toxic exposure research into clinical applications including health care products, interventions, technologies, and/or clinical practice guidelines. FY25 TERP TRPA requires partnership of the Initiating Principal Investigator (PI) with at least one, and up to two, other collaborating PIs for the completion of one overarching study.

It is expected that 2 awards will be granted.
