DoD Autism Exploration Hypothesis Development Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Autism Exploration Hypothesis Development Award is a research funding opportunity from the Department of the Army, administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), designed to spark early-stage, high-risk, high-reward autism research. The purpose of this award is to support the first steps in examining ideas that have not yet been tested and that could shift how autism-related questions are asked or answered. Rather than funding incremental extensions of ongoing projects, this mechanism is aimed at letting researchers try out novel concepts, emerging theories, new paradigms, or innovative methods that address an important issue in autism research. The expectation is that the work funded here will generate preliminary evidence, proof-of-principle results, or a sound scientific rationale that can serve as the foundation for a new hypothesis and, later, larger and more definitive studies.

This opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-ARP-EHDA and was categorized as discretionary funding. Awards could be made either as grants or cooperative agreements, which generally means the project could be funded in a standard assistance format, with the possibility of more active involvement or oversight by the funding agency in the case of a cooperative agreement. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA listing is 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development, which situates it within the Department of Defense medical research portfolio.

The announcement projected a small number of awards, with an expected total of three awards funded. The estimated total funding available across the competition was $480,000, indicating that individual projects were likely intended to be modest in scope and budget, consistent with exploratory or pilot-level research. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which reduces barriers for applicants who may not have access to institutional matching funds.

Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full text of the announcement. In practice, that typically allows applications from academic institutions, nonprofits, for-profits, research institutes, and potentially other organizations, as long as they meet any specific requirements laid out in the full solicitation.

Key dates for the opportunity reflect a 2010 cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on March 23, 2010. The original and current closing date was July 1, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on July 31, 2010. These dates indicate the competition is no longer active, but the summary still provides a clear snapshot of how this specific award mechanism was structured and what kinds of research it was intended to stimulate.
