SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Fielding Successful Medical
Products Survey; OMB Control Number 0720-VOIP.
Needs and Uses: Companies use multiple strategies, funding streams,
and tactics to field medical products that the military can use in the
Military Health System (MHS) and military operations. Little is known
about the critical factors affecting medical product research,
development, and acquisition by the DoD. This gap in knowledge hinders
the DoD's ability to effectively influence the commercial development
of life-saving medical technologies and impedes the DHA's and Services'
advanced development functions.
As part of 59th Medical Wing's Science & Technology, Technology
Transfer and Transition (59 MDW/ST-T3) Office's continuous process
improvement effort, this proposed information collection will gather
feedback from companies that have successfully developed and marketed
commercially-available medical products to the DoD over the last five
(5) years. The questionnaire elicits information about (a) funding
streams, processes, ideas, partnerships, and pathways, (b) Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) approval/clearance, (c) teaming arrangements,
management strategies, and leadership approaches, and (d) barriers and
enablers to marketing to the DoD.
By performing this market analysis, we aim to develop actionable,
data-driven recommendations for improving acquisition of innovative
medical solutions. An analysis of responses permits a clear
understanding of how the DoD can influence, emulate, and facilitate
successful production and provisioning of new/novel medical products
(capabilities) to address existing requirements or enhance existing
medical/health capabilities. Specifically, this effort will support the
DHA's mission of driving innovative solutions to improve health and
build readiness.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 25.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 50.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: October 16, 2023.
