Description

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.

For more information or assistance, you can contact the CDMRP Help Desk at help@eBRAP.org or by phone at 301-682-5507. The opportunity to apply for this grant will close on October 9, 2024, and the archive date is set for November 8, 2024.

Dept. of the Army -- USAMRAA
The Department of the Army, through the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), has posted a grant opportunity titled "DoD Bone Marrow Failure, Investigator-Initiated Research Award". This grant aims to support research in the field of bone marrow failure and offers two funding levels with different intents. Funding Level 1 (FL1) is intended to support studies that further develop mature ideas, expand upon key discoveries, and have the potential to make significant advances in research and/or patient care in the FY24 BMFRP Focus Areas. FL1 awards may involve translational and clinical research, including studies in animal models, research with human data and/or anatomical substances, and research with human subjects. However, FL1 awards may not be used to support a clinical trial. Multidisciplinary collaborations are encouraged. Funding Level 2 (FL2) is aimed at supporting Investigational New Drug (IND) application-enabling efforts. The BMFRP recognizes the challenges associated with advancing promising therapeutic agents from the laboratory to clinical evaluation. FL2 awards require empirical studies focused on the accumulation of data for a lead therapeutic candidate that will be included in an IND application submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FL2 applications must address the FY24 BMFRP Focus Area of finding effective treatments and cures for bone marrow failure. The grant opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching and is open to unrestricted applicants. The total program funding is $2,440,000, and it is expected that two awards will be granted. The closing date for applications is October 9, 2024, and the archive date is November 8, 2024.
