MTEC REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW

• Requests for proposals will be in the White Paper format.

• White Papers submitted must be in accordance with the mandatory
  format provided in the MTEC-21-05-Cross-cutting Request for Project
  Proposals.

• At the time of the submission, the Offeror must have already
  executed an MTEC Base Agreement.

                                                                  4

TEAMING

MTEC encourages organizations to team during the proposal preparation period (prior
to proposal submission). We believe that this effort will result in three key advantages:
• Offerors will submit more targeted proposals that better address the full scope of
  technical requirements of an RPP.
• Offerors choose their own partners, rather than the Sponsor suggesting a teaming
  arrangement, so that appropriate teaming arrangements can be made that suit all
  parties involved.
• Timelines to award will be faster because additional time during the process will not
  be required for several Offerors to work on and submit a new teamed proposal.

                                                                                       5

TEAMING TOOLS

• Collaboration Database Tool – (Only available on the MTEC
  Members Website) Quick and easy tool to search the MTEC
  membership for Collaboration Interests, Capabilities and Technical
  Expertise of member organizations.

• One-off Requests for Teaming – Points of Contact are provided in
  every RPP. MTEC can propagate your company’s capabilities to other
  interested parties.

• Partnering with DoD Laboratories - MTEC members have the option
  to leverage DoD lab capabilities. Points of contact at Army
  laboratories can be found on the MTEC Members Website.

                                                                       6

FUNDING PLAN

•   The U.S. Government (USG) Department of Defense (DoD) currently has
    available approximately $11.3 Million (M) for the following focus areas:
         1.   FOCUS AREA #1 CBPR ~$4.7 M
                   Maximum Request = $2.5M
         2.   FOCUS AREA #2 Measurement and Assessment ~$1.9 M
                   Maximum Request = $750K
         3.   FOCUS AREA #3 Effective Primary Prevention Programming - ~$4.7 M
                   Maximum Request = $2.5M

•   Note that if a single white paper addresses more than one focus area, then the
    maxima are additive.

•   MTEC anticipates that multiple awards (approximately 6 awards) will be made

•   It is possible that a single Offeror could receive an award for more than one
    Focus Area.
                                                                                    7

FUNDING PLAN

• Any potential follow-on funding is subject to availability and is
  expected to be awarded non-competitively and negotiated based on
  outcomes, cost sharing, partner matching and estimates for
  additional study completion.

• The DoD reserves the right to negotiate available funding up or down
  based on the Proposed Statement of Work.

• Cost sharing, including cash and in kind (e.g., personnel or product)
  contributions are strongly encouraged, have no limit, and are in
  addition to the Government funding to be provided under the
  resultant award(s).

                                                                     8

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE (POP)

• The anticipated Period of Performance is expected to be up to 36
  months for all focus areas.

• Dependent on the results and deliverables, additional time may be
  added to the POP for follow-on tasks. Such follow-on work may
  include:

  o Developing, testing and further refining prototypes and prototype
    methods for disseminating and implementing prototypes.

                                                                        9

  the initial screening is the lack of significant nontraditional defense
  contractor participation, nonprofit research institution participation,
  small business participation or cost share (see RPP Attachment B).

                 See Table 1 in the RPP for how the Cost
        Sharing/Nontraditional Contractor determination will be made.   22

RPP Focus Areas

Given the cross-cutting objective of this MTEC RPP, Offerors must
address at least one of the following focus areas, but are strongly
encouraged to consider addressing more than one focus area:
    (1) FOCUS AREA #1: Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
    (2) FOCUS AREA #2: Measurement and assessment
    (3) FOCUS AREA #3: Effective primary prevention programming

The MTEC mechanism allows for and encourages collaboration between the Government sponsors/stakeholders as well
 as between awardees to accelerate development of solutions and maximize the benefit to Service Members and their
Families. Offerors should be prepared to work collaboratively with other applicants or Government sponsors and subject
  matter experts to ensure application of projects to a military environment. Awardees will interact with Department of
Defense and Service level offices (e.g., stakeholders, customers, end-users, and/or DOD partners). Awardees should be
 prepared to leverage metrics and outcomes identified by stakeholders across Military Services, to avoid duplication or
                      trying to retrofit a metrics solution for systems that do not ‘talk’ to each other.

FOCUS AREA #1 Community Based
     Participatory Research (CBPR)
Use CBPR/participatory action research to enhance
the military community relevance of research and to
develop, assess, and sustain cross-cutting
prevention that is culturally grounded in the military
community(-ies).

                         UNCLASSIFIED              42
What is CBPR?

» CBPR is defined as scientific inquiry conducted in a
  community with researchers and community members
  as partners
   » See Attachment G of the RPP, Supplemental Information
» Community-partnered approaches can:
   » generate better-informed hypotheses,
   » develop more effective interventions,
   » and enhance the translation of the research results into practice.
» Involving members of local military communities in cross-
  cutting prevention research may improve the quality,
  impact, and applicability of the research to the military.

                               UNCLASSIFIED                      43
Capabilities Needed

Identify cross-cutting risk and protective factors of greatest importance
and relevance to military community members across multiple levels of
social ecology model with a focus on community-level risk and
protective factors:
    » How do military communities and civilian communities interact to influence
      the behavioral health, help-seeking behaviors, and access to services by
      Service Members, their families, and intimate partners;
    » Programs and implementation strategies that garner leadership buy-in and
      empowerment, enhance structural, cultural and environmental relevance
      that supports behavioral health, and facilitates participation in prevention
      programs;
    » Culturally responsive programs or interventions that have positive valence,
      promote norms for respect, and reduce multiple forms of workplace
      mistreatment;
    » Define leadership behaviors required to foster and strengthen climates of
      mutual respect and identify contextual factors that promote or inhibit the
      demonstration of these behaviors;
    » Strategies to improve the community climate, environments, policies,
      resources and programs in order to address the community-identified
      priorities; and
    » Strategies to improve program utilization and access.

                                     UNCLASSIFIED                           44
FOCUS AREA #2 Measurement and
              Assessment

Novel methodologies to efficiently identify and/or
collect short-, medium-, and long-term indicators of
effectiveness of cross-cutting prevention programming

                        UNCLASSIFIED            45
Why Focus on Measurement and
              Assessment?
» Common measurement is important across programs
  with diverse prevention objectives to better identify which
  promising programs have the best cross-cutting
  outcomes.
» Cross-cutting prevention research is challenged by the
  need to potentially measure multiple outcomes, leading
  to multiple statistical tests and decreased study power.
» Development of an integrated cross-cutting
  measurement strategy and identification and validation
  of cross-cutting prevention outcome metrics is crucial.
» Military-relevant measures and methods are essential for
  evaluating program effectiveness and maximizing
  resources.

                           UNCLASSIFIED                46
Capabilities Needed

» Proposed projects should advance the measurement
  and methodology for cross-cutting prevention research,
  including but not limited to:
   » Efficient, low-burden solution for assessing cross-cutting
     prevention effort effectiveness that can be seamlessly integrated
     into workflow/efforts and inform continuous quality improvement;
   » Tailored interventions that might be initiated at key transitions
     such as when Service Members arrive at new units or deploy;
   » Validated, streamlined common data elements for cross-cutting
     prevention research and program effectiveness;
   » New measures or measurement models for assessing impact
     across multiple behavioral health outcomes, e.g. a prevention
     index;
   » Leverage existing data to develop and test analytic methods,
     strategies, or tools for assessing cross-cutting outcomes.

                               UNCLASSIFIED                     47

What is Effective Primary Prevention
              Programming?
» Approaches that take place before a negative event,
  harmful behavior, or psychological health issue has
  occurred to prevent the initial event and all ensuing
  negative events.
   » Universal Interventions- Approaches that are aimed at groups or
     the general population regardless of individual risk
   » Selective Interventions- Approaches that are aimed at those who
     are thought to have a heightened risk

                              UNCLASSIFIED                    49
Capabilities Needed

» To advance cross-cutting prevention we must identify
  programs with the strongest cross-cutting impacts.
   » Effective comprehensive cross-cutting prevention programs for use
     in the military to address factors across multiple levels of social
     ecology, and interdependence of factors across levels;
   » Determine appropriate and critical periods/periods of transition/time
     points for effective prevention program implementation;
   » Effective community models for implementing multiple strategies
     from the DODI 6400.09 & evaluate cross-cutting effectiveness;
   » Effective interventions for use in the military that address
     developmental and social determinants of health
   » Workplace civility interventions that focus on the promotion of norms
     for mutual respect and the reduction of multiple forms of related
     negative behaviors; and
   » Sociometric research to tailor cross-cutting prevention programs to
     the needs of a population and/or individuals fitting certain
     characteristics measured via peer-nominations or self-nominations.
