The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Military Operational Medicine Research Program (MOMRP) intends to publish a funding opportunity inviting research applications to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focus on validating and/or optimizing treatment for "complicated" posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among active duty Army Soldiers. For the purpose and intent of this funding opportunity, "complicated" PTSD is defined as PTSD with co-occurring mental disorder(s) including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Substance-Related Disorders, and Mood Disorders, as well as other co-occurring problems like bereavement, sleep disturbance, chronic pain, suicide behavior, or multiple traumas (e.g., military sexual trauma and combat-related trauma). MOMRP encourages submissions by members of the research community with interests in improving evidence-based psychosocial, behavioral, pharmacological, and/or combined treatment of active duty Army Soldiers with "complicated" PTSD who have previously deployed, are currently deployed, or are post-deployed from Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). Applicants must demonstrate the ability/plan to access and recruit active duty Army participants. This funding opportunity maximum amount is $3.5 million with a period of performance of no longer than three years.
