Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Autism Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-14-ARP-CTA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs umbrella. It is designed to support autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research that can credibly move the needle on real-world treatment or management of ASD, with an emphasis on projects that could produce meaningful clinical impact rather than incremental findings.
A central requirement of this award is that the proposed work must be a clinical trial, and the funding cannot be used for preclinical studies. In practical terms, the program is looking for studies that prospectively enroll human participants and actively test an intervention in those participants, then measure outcomes tied to that intervention. The announcement uses a broad definition of what counts as an intervention, which can include medical products and procedures such as devices, drugs, biologics, or surgical approaches, as well as rehabilitative modalities and behavioral interventions. What matters is that the study is structured so the intervention is applied to human subjects and produces measurable data related to exploratory signals, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy, reflecting a direct effect on the participant.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant within the broader category of science, technology, and other research and development. The total estimated funding available was $3.2 million, with an expectation of making about two awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers for applicants that may not have substantial non-federal resources to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, academic institutions, nonprofits, small businesses, and other entities), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on April 25, 2014, and the application deadline was October 7, 2014, with an archive date of November 6, 2014. It is associated with CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), indicating its placement within the DoD medical research funding portfolio.
