OXR programs typically have ~20% turn over each year

When: Initial “white paper” useful (sometimes required)

Proposals nominally anytime, but spring/early summer to be timely

Most funding decisions processed in fall, early winter – after appropriation bill

The DMRDP expects to allot $97M of the FY10 appropriation to fund approximately 100 intramural and extramural Applied and Advanced Technology Development Research Award applications depending on the quality and number of applications received.

The Basic Research Funding Opportunity ($60M total for both intra and extra mural efforts) is focused on basic research, defined as research directed towards attaining greater knowledge and understanding of fundamental principles of science and medicine. The DMRDP Basic Research Award is designed to promote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield highly impactful data and new avenues of investigation.

Basic Research Award

Pre-Application:  December 10, 2009

Invitation to submit full proposal: By January 15, 2010

Proposal Submission:  February 17, 2010

The maximum period of performance for this award mechanism is 3 years.

Maximum allowable funding for the entire period of performance is $1,000,000 for direct costs. The applicant may request the entire maximum direct cost amount for a project that may require less than the maximum period of performance.

2009 Peer Reviewed MRP Topics

From 2009 DOD Appropriations in Continuing Resolution

37

The following research topics are recommended for consideration under this program: • Neuropsychiatric studies, biochemical mechanisms that underlie human emotional reactions to combat stress and resulting clinical disorders, metrics for mental health assessment and methods to evaluate and improve PTSD rehabilitation efforts; • Studies of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) including basic research on neural injury treatments, cell replacement and regrowth strategies, specific therapies to prevent and reverse spinal cord and other neuro-traumatic damage, pharmaceutical interventions to stimulate neural circuits, ``activity-based'' physical therapy, and extended rehabilitation focused on impairments in vision and cognitive functioning; • Clinical research of blast-related cell damage and the resulting effects on neurological response; • 3D models of IED blast waves to develop equipment to mitigate injury to service members; • A fully automated, self contained, disposable chip to diagnose TBI at the point of onset; • DA-EEG assessment and MRI quantization to allow an accurate assessment of TBI; computational approaches to integrate global transcriptomics and proteomics information to identify the biological networks altered following TBI; • Studies of PTSD and/or TBI including basic research in neurorehabilitation, the integration of informatics, and advanced computational research to analyze brain tissue and activities, the use of advanced neuroimaging, behavioral and genetic information to develop biomarkers, diagnostics, and treatments for semi-acute and chronic injury stages.

Milestone 1 (Congressional Appropriation): Milestone 2 (Vision Setting): Each program's Integration Panel (IP), composed of renowned experts -- scientists and clinicians, as well as disease survivors, identify the Programmatic Priorities for the year. Milestone 3 (Release of Program Announcements)Milestone 4 (Proposal Receipt)Milestone 5 (Peer Review): • Submitted proposals are peer reviewed by program, along with other proposals submitted in response to the same mechanism offered in the Program Announcements. • Renowned scientists and clinicians are assigned to panels to review proposals according to their individual expertise. • In addition, several disease survivors sit on each peer review panel. • The process of Peer Review evaluates not only the science of each submission but also the proposed budget. Milestone 6 (Programmatic Review): • Proposals undergo Programmatic Review by the IP with select additional scientists chosen for their expertise in the field. • Proposals are evaluated in a comparison basis, against submissions in other specialty fields in order to identify proposals with the greatest programmatic relevance, those that most completely address the year's Programmatic Priorities, as well as disease relevance, and innovation, among other factors.
