## Summary

This activity requests $50.9M in FY2027, 53% of project EMR-04, up 685% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - 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.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** 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.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - 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.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 6.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 50.9 |

> Prior, current and budget year only — an R-2A activity carries no five-year plan. It sums exactly into its project in the request year and not necessarily in any other.
