DoD Bone Marrow Failure Exploration Hypothesis Development Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Bone Marrow Failure Exploration Hypothesis Development Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-BMFRP-EHDA) is a Department of Defense research funding opportunity administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Bone Marrow Failure Research Program. Its core purpose is to fund the very early, idea-generating stage of research in bone marrow failure, specifically encouraging investigators to test innovative, unproven, and potentially high-impact concepts that could shift thinking in the field. Rather than requiring a fully mature hypothesis backed by extensive preliminary data, the program is designed to help researchers explore new directions and generate the kinds of early findings that can form the scientific rationale for a new hypothesis or establish initial principles supporting a novel hypothesis.

A key feature of this mechanism is its emphasis on exploration and discovery, including projects that arise from unexpected or serendipitous observations. Because the award is meant to open the door for unconventional or emerging ideas, applicants may have gaps in the supporting rationale due to limited existing information, and that is treated as an acceptable part of proposing truly new directions. At the same time, the announcement is explicit that this mechanism is not meant to fund the continuation or incremental expansion of ongoing, established studies. In practical terms, it is geared toward high-risk, high-reward inquiry at an early stage, where the main deliverable is often a credible foundation for future hypothesis-driven work rather than completion of a long, multi-year research program.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity was posted on January 27, 2010, with an application closing date of April 8, 2010, and an archive date of May 8, 2010. The program anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $900,000 across all awards. The funding instrument types listed include both cooperative agreements and grants, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full announcement text. For applicant support, the announcement provides contact points for technical access issues and submission help, including PA HELP at 301-619-7079 (cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil) and eReceipt/CDMRP Help Desk assistance at 301-682-5507 (help@cdmrp.org). Overall, this award mechanism is positioned as a catalyst for early-stage, novel bone marrow failure research ideas that could later mature into more fully developed hypotheses and larger, sustained research efforts.
