Armed Forces Pest Management Board Broad Agency Announcement
Applications to the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Deployed Warfighter Protection (DWFP) Programare being requested by the U. S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground,Edgewood Contracting Division, Fort Detrick (ACC-APG Edgewood) using delegated authorityprovided by United States Code, Title 10,
Section 4001 (10 USC 4001).
The executionmanagement agent for this program announcement is the DWFP Program at the Armed ForcesPest Management Board (AFPMB).The DWFP Program’s mission is to protect deployed military personnel from medically relevantpests, including (but not limited to) arthropod disease vectors of mosquito-borne arboviruses andtick-borne pathogens, as well as fly-borne bacterial pathogens.
The DWFP Program seeks to fundoriginal and innovative research that supports the Advanced Technology Development of newinsecticides, or improved formulations of existing insecticides for vector control, newtechnology or enhanced modalities of personal protection from biting arthropods, or improvedefficacy and sustainability of equipment for application of pesticides.To meet the intent of the FY24 DWFP Program Research Award, applications must address atleast one of the five FY24 DWFP Program Research Areas listed below.
Bulleted items areprovided to indicate additional context regarding programmatic intent but not required to bespecifically addressed by applications.
Applications consisting solely or primarily of basicresearch activities may be administratively withdrawn.
Selection of the appropriate FY24DWFP Program Research Area is the responsibility of the applicant.
1. Bite Prevention (DWFP-1):
Research will address knowledge gaps in new personalprotection tools that prevent contact with medically relevant arthropods.
2. Vector Control (DWFP-2):
Research will address new insecticide application techniques,new toxicants or the adaptation of existing toxicants to medically relevant arthropods.
3. Decision Support Tools or Software Applications (DWFP-3):
Research will addressnew tools or software applications that support data-driven decisions (e.g.
predictivemodeling) for improved arthropod vector surveillance and control strategies, includingoutbreak responses.
4. Vector surveillance and identification (DWFP-4):
Research will address new arthropod vectorsurveillance tools and technologies that focus on improved vector control outcomes.
5. Vector pathogen diagnostics (DWFP-5):
Research will address new vector pathogen diagnostictools and technologies that focus on rapid detection of multiple arthropod-borne pathogens in asingle assay.**See attachments for additional information**
