Timeline
    Description

    The Department of the Army, through the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), is forecasting an opportunity for a Research-based Other Transactions Agreement (rOTA) under the Neurofibromatosis Research Program (NFRP). This initiative aims to accelerate the clinical translation of basic research related to neurofibromatosis (NF) by conducting collaborative Phase I and II clinical trials focused on promising therapeutic agents for NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. Historically, this requirement has been addressed through assistance agreements, and the government is now seeking feedback on this proposed approach, emphasizing the need for cost-sharing arrangements and access to patient populations. Interested parties can reach out to Jason D. Kuhns at jason.d.kuhns.civ@mail.mil for further information, as this outreach is for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation.
