Resuscitation and Prevention of Ischemia-Induced Dysfunction (RAPIID) - TA1/TA2
Summary
The Department of Defense's DARPA is soliciting proposals for Phase 1 of the Resuscitation and Prevention of Ischemia-Induced Dysfunction (RAPIID) program, which aims to develop a fieldable blood analog system that can replace stored whole blood in early trauma care without cold‑chain or donor logistics. The effort focuses on creating sequentially administered blood analog components, rugged delivery formats, point‑of‑care diagnostics, and clinical practice guidelines, with the goal of advancing these technologies to high technology readiness levels for eventual commercialization.
