The Department of the Army -- USAMRAA has posted a grant opportunity titled "DoD Bone Marrow Failure, Idea Development Award". This grant is in the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The total program funding is estimated to be $4,240,000, with an expected number of 5 awards to be given. The grant is open to unrestricted applicants.
The purpose of the BMFRP Idea Development Award (IDA) is to support innovative ideas and high-impact approaches based on scientifically sound evidence to advance the understanding and cure of Bone Marrow Failure (BMF) diseases. This funding opportunity is specifically designed to support new ideas and research studies that have the potential to reveal new avenues of investigation. The proposed research should have a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and a well-developed research approach.
The grant encourages hypothesis-driven correlative studies associated with clinical trials that align with the innovative intent of this award mechanism. If proposing a correlative study, it should be associated with a clinical trial(s) and should contribute to the generation of new hypotheses or advance the understanding of disease biology, treatment mechanisms, or other innovative and impactful outcomes. It is important to note that funding to conduct the clinical trial itself is not included in this funding opportunity.
This grant opportunity is open to both Established Investigators (EIs) and Early-Career Investigators (ECIs). ECIs will be assessed using different criteria for personnel during the review process. Regardless of career level, the proposed team should have a strong background in BMF disease research.
