Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Bone Marrow Failure Resource Development Award (BMFRP RDA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Bone Marrow Failure Research Program. Its purpose is to address a recognized gap in the field: the shortage of high-quality, widely usable research resources that can accelerate basic research on bone marrow failure (BMF). Rather than primarily funding hypothesis-driven projects, this mechanism is explicitly product-driven, meaning the core expectation is the creation or development of a tangible research resource that can be used not only in the Principal Investigator's laboratory but also shared with and leveraged by the broader BMF research community. The goal is to strengthen the research infrastructure around BMF by enabling tools, datasets, models, platforms, or other resources that make future studies faster, more reproducible, and more impactful.
This opportunity was released as a discretionary research and development program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. Awards were offered through either cooperative agreements or grants, depending on program needs and project structure. The program anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000 across all awards, indicating a competitive, targeted investment aimed at a small number of resource-building efforts with broad community value. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers barriers for applicants and allows proposed budgets to focus directly on resource development and dissemination activities.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, provided the applicant met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement. This typically signals that academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities, and other qualified organizations could apply, subject to the details in the official notice. The funding opportunity number was W81XWH-11-BMFRP-RDA, and it was tied to CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), which is the assistance listing used for many DoD medical research funding programs.
In terms of timing and lifecycle, the opportunity was posted and created on April 22, 2011, with an original and final closing date of September 14, 2011, and an archive date of October 14, 2011. Applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically were directed to contact the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507, which reflects the program's placement within the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) ecosystem that supports DoD medical research grants and cooperative agreements.
Overall, the BMFRP Resource Development Award is best understood as an infrastructure-building mechanism for the bone marrow failure research field. It prioritizes deliverables that can be adopted and used by many labs, with the intention of enabling better basic science by improving access to critical shared resources.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): DoD Bone Marrow Failure Resource Development Award (BMFRP RDA)
What is the BMFRP Resource Development Award (RDA)?
The Bone Marrow Failure Resource Development Award (BMFRP RDA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity under the Bone Marrow Failure Research Program. It is administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). The award is designed to strengthen the research infrastructure for bone marrow failure (BMF) by supporting the creation or development of research resources that can be broadly used by the BMF research community.
What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The purpose is to address a specific gap in the field: a shortage of high-quality, widely usable research resources that can accelerate basic research on bone marrow failure. The program aims to enable tools, datasets, models, platforms, or other shared resources that help future studies move faster, become more reproducible, and achieve greater impact.
Is this award meant for hypothesis-driven research projects?
No. This mechanism is explicitly described as product-driven rather than primarily hypothesis-driven. The core expectation is the creation or development of a tangible research resource.
What does "product-driven" mean in this context?
"Product-driven" means the central focus is on delivering a tangible research resource (for example, tools, datasets, models, or platforms) that can be used beyond the Principal Investigator's laboratory and shared with the broader bone marrow failure research community.
What kinds of deliverables are expected from an RDA project?
The opportunity emphasizes deliverables that strengthen research infrastructure, such as tools, datasets, models, platforms, or other resources. The key requirement is that the resource is high-quality, widely usable, and capable of being shared and leveraged by the broader BMF research community.
Who is expected to benefit from the resource created under this award?
The expectation is that the resource will be useful not only to the Principal Investigator's lab, but also to the wider bone marrow failure research community, enabling broader adoption and use across multiple research groups.
Which agency administers this opportunity?
The opportunity is administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) as part of the Department of Defense research funding structure.
Which program is this award associated with?
This award sits under the Bone Marrow Failure Research Program and is part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) ecosystem.
