GOLDen hour extended EVACuation (GOLDEVAC)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the following technical area: intravascular gas-exchange and trauma resuscitation through a single intravascular cannula. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances which would develop the necessary device(s) to enable management of a polytrauma patient through a single intravascular access without the thrombotic complications associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. See the Eligibility Information section of the BAA for more information.
