Sponsor
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)
Program
The PRMRP Focused Program Award [1] mechanism is intended to optimize research and accelerate the solution for a critical question related to at least one of the Congressionally directed FY18 PRMRP Topic Areas through a synergistic, multidisciplinary research program.
Description
The vision of the FY18 PRMRP is to improve the health and well-being of all military Service members, Veterans, and beneficiaries. The PRMRP challenges the scientific and clinical communities to address at least one of the FY18 PRMRP Topic Areas with original ideas that foster new directions along the entire spectrum of research and clinical care. The program seeks applications in laboratory, clinical, behavioral, epidemiologic, and other areas of research to advance knowledge in disease etiology, improve prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for those affected by a relevant disease or condition, and to develop and validate clinical care or public health guidelines.
Key Mechanism Elements
- Supports a synergistic, multidisciplinary research program of at least four distinct but complementary projects addressing an overarching goal in the Topic Area(s) of interest
- Projects should work together to answer critical questions, resolve differing hypotheses, and translate laboratory findings to clinical applications
- Projects may range from exploratory/hypothesis developing through small-scale clinical trials that together will address the overarching goal/question
- Research team of highly qualified, multidisciplinary project leaders should be led by a PI with demonstrated success in directing large, focused projects
- Preproposal (Letter of Intent) submission is required; application submission is by invitation only
