Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Breast Cancer Concept Award (BCRP Concept Award) is a U.S. Army-administered funding opportunity under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) that is designed to spark genuinely new ideas in breast cancer research. Rather than supporting incremental work or the next logical step in an established research line, this mechanism is specifically meant for high-risk, high-reward projects that test a highly innovative concept or an unproven theory aimed at an important breast cancer problem. The emphasis is on creativity and originality, with the goal of opening up entirely new directions for future investigation.
A defining feature of this award is that preliminary data cannot be included. Applicants are expected to make their case through a clear and compelling rationale for why the idea is plausible, why it matters for breast cancer, and how the proposed approach could reveal something meaningfully new. In other words, the program is willing to take chances on early-stage ideas, but it still expects thoughtful scientific reasoning and a well-argued plan for exploring the concept.
There are strict limitations related to human subjects and human biological materials because these projects are intended to be preliminary investigations. Studies involving human subjects or human specimens are not supported unless they qualify as exempt under Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 219, Section 101(b) (32 CFR 219.101(b)). Proposals that include human-subjects work or specimen use that does not meet exempt criteria are subject to administrative withdrawal and will not be funded. If a project uses only commercially available, unidentified specimens, the program will request a Claim of Exemption Form. Applicants are also directed to consult the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) Human Research Protection Office resources for guidance on exemption status.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity was posted March 30, 2010 (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-BCRP-CA) by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). The instrument type allows for either a cooperative agreement or a grant, and it falls under the Science and Technology / Research and Development category. The program anticipated making around 95 awards, supported by an estimated total funding level of $10,000,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of applicant organizations, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement.
The program description also provides historical context that underscores how selective and competitive the mechanism is: since it began in FY1999, 11,319 Concept Award proposals were received and 1,137 were recommended for funding. That track record reflects both the popularity of the mechanism and the fact that it is intended to fund only the most compelling, truly innovative ideas that align with the BCRP mission.
For support, the announcement lists contact points for technical or submission help, including PA HELP (301-619-7079, cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil), eReceipt HELP (301-682-5507, help@cdmrp.org), and the CDMRP Help Desk.
