Health Information Technologies and Informatics: This Funding Opportunity Announcement is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Fiscal Years 2016-2017 (FY16-FY17) Joint Program Committee-1 (JPC-1)/Medical Simulation and Information Sciences (MSIS) Research Program, Health Information Technologies and Informatics (HITI) Theater/Operational Medicine Initiative (TOMI).

This BAA must be read in conjunction with the submission guidelines in Grants.gov/Apply for Grants (hereinafter called Grants.gov/Apply). It must also be read in conjunction with the document titled “General Submission Instructions” available with this BAA in Grants.gov.

The mission of the JPC-1/MSIS is to explore the implications of models, technology, and informatics for medical education, and for the provision, management, and support of healthcare services in the military. The JPC-1/MSIS Research Program plans, coordinates, and oversees a responsive world-class, tri-service science and technology program focused on two areas of research: (1) medical modeling, simulation and training, and (2) HITI.

The JPC-1/MSIS HITI portfolio facilitates scientific studies and promotes advances in software, information technology, medical informatics, and analytics in both garrison (fixed facilities) and theater (military combat and operational environments) settings. Advances generated will intersect with the Military Health System (MHS) Information Technology strategy at multiple points. The HITI portfolio is responsive to the evolving needs across the MHS enterprise. There are four research domains within the HITI:

(1) Theater/Operational Medicine – Research to enhance the efficiency of healthcare operations in combat and operational environments to ensure the delivery of high-quality healthcare services by improving information accessibility and by providing better decision support for clinicians

(2) Military Health Care Services – Research to promote, improve, conserve, or restore the mental or physical well-being of personnel through improved information management and technologies

(3) Medical Resourcing – Research initiatives to improve the management of human and financial healthcare resources

(4) Information Technology Infrastructure and Data Management – Research to improve the management of IT and communications infrastructure, healthcare data management, and architecture
