What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EMR-04 of PE 0601122E. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
- Initiate exploration of approaches to improve assessments and diagnostics for predictive and preventative purposes. - Identify assessment paradigm for biological and artificial intelligence problem solving separately and in tandem. - Investigate high-throughput characterization technologies to examine molecular interactions and generate large datasets for biological foundational models. - Initiate the development of algorithms to accelerate medical decision making to enhance medical personnel triage performance.
The FY 2027 increase reflects studies and concepts initiations including, but not limited to, basic research in assessment paradigms in tandem biological and AI problem solving, improved creation of biological foundation models and advanced algorithms to accelerate medical triage decision making.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
- Initiate the development of platform technologies that address military medical science challenges. - Initiate exploration of approaches to effectively leverage artificial intelligence in military medical science contexts.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 6.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 50.9 |
This activity is 53% of project EMR-04's FY2027 request and 13% of PE 0601122E's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
9 activities in project EMR-04
Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
