Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Therapeutic Idea Award is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity intended to spark new, early-stage therapeutic concepts for treating ALS. The program is built to push the field toward fresh directions by supporting projects that are still in development but have the potential to generate influential data and open up new lines of investigation. A key emphasis is on conceptually innovative work that carries higher risk but also offers the possibility of high reward, meaning the DoD is explicitly looking for ideas that could lead to major breakthroughs or meaningful advances in ALS therapeutics rather than incremental extensions of existing approaches. Proposed research is expected to be grounded in a strong scientific rationale and framed around a clearly defined, testable hypothesis, reinforcing that even early-stage concepts need a coherent experimental plan and logical basis.
Administratively, this opportunity was released by the Department of the Army through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-ALSRP-TIA, with the official title "DoD Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Therapeutic Idea Award." It falls under the category of discretionary funding and supports science and technology research and development activities. Awards could be made through a cooperative agreement or grant mechanism. The estimated total funding available for this announcement was $640,000, and the announcement anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that any type of entity could apply (such as universities, non-profits, for-profits, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted on March 8, 2012, with an application closing date of July 24, 2012, and it was later archived on August 23, 2012. The associated CFDA number was 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), which is the catalog identifier tied to the underlying federal assistance program.
For applicant support, the announcement directed those who had trouble accessing the full posting electronically to contact the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) Help Desk at 301-682-5507 or by email at help@cdmrp.org.
