RESEARCH

Our Focus

We are invested in three main domains of research that includes: patient centered translational research that will learn from the patient and in return provide direct help to the patient; quality improvement projects and large scale operations such as remote patient assessment and telemedicine and finally research on stem cells, regenerative medicine and healing. We are here to foster high technology adaptations in every day medical practice particularly for the generations of today and those of the future. Our values are based on a basic principle "do the right thing" and we welcome partnership with any institution or entity with shared values and vision.

NEXT GENERATION MEDICINE (NGM)

A PUBLIC - PRIVATE INTERPHASE TO FACILITATE RESEARCH

WHO IS NGM: NGM is a nonprofit organization formed by military families to act as a voice to identify unmet needs in medical research important for military members and their dependents.

WHAT DOES NGM DO?

1. NGM supports research through advocacy and social media. Providing a voice to bring unity and awareness within the military health system.

2. NGM facilitates furthering research by optimizing grant management and accelerating the process to save time.

3. NGM provides a grass roots approach for optimizing directions for future research.

4. NGM is able to provide adaptable connections among different DoD and civilian entities to promote lean-budget research at different levels of maturity (ranging from proof of concept to near commercialization) and to accelerate transition of existing technology to the general public.

PARTNERSHIP WITH NGM:

1. NGM is an independent consultant to both DoD research institutions and commercial entities.

2. NGM collects modest overhead to cover operational expenses for grant management. This includes:

a. Accounting

b. Regulatory fees to IRB

c. Ordering supplies and tracking arrival- record keeping

d. Social media development- website modification

3. NGM does not claim IP rights on any novel accomplishments.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, NGM WILL:

1. Facilitate your connections with the biotechnology research interest groups within military treatment facilities to present your project for consideration

2. Prepare your IRB protocol for submission

3. As your administrative partner, assist you establishing a CRADA with the technology transfer office of a military treatment facility

4. Form a study team for your project with proper primary investigator

5. Hire skilled study coordinator(s) who have access to military base and well trained to utilize military research resources

6. Provide data management and analysis

7. Run surveys to assess end-user experience on your new product

8. Contribute to your networking within the DoD for feedback on your new product.

FOCUS AREAS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

1. Projects that will improve remote assessment and telemedicine

2. Simulation center-based projects

3. Fast-track diagnostic and medical need tools

4. Research on medical imaging

5. Projects that will promote preventive advancements and environmental safety

6. Research involving fast track biomarker discovery as a part of pandemic readiness

7. Stem cell and exosome-based treatment to promote regeneration

8. Seek, utilize and execute opportunities in space research

9. Projects related to quality improvement on safety and patient outcomes

These areas of interest can be applicable to any disease state affecting any organ or tissue. Examples include exposures to infectious or chemical agents or radiation, cardio-vascular compromise, inflammation, allergies, tissue trauma, blood and bone marrow, brain, eye-ear-skin health, metabolic and mitochondrial concerns impacting wellbeing and longevity.
