Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Breast Cancer Impact Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-09-BCRP-IMPT) is a FY2009 funding opportunity under the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), within the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP). It is designed to back research projects or bold new ideas, ranging from small to large in scope, that tackle major scientific or clinical problems in breast cancer. The central goal is to support work that, if successful, could fundamentally change how breast cancer is understood and/or treated and meaningfully advance the long-term aim of eradicating the disease.
The defining feature of this award is "impact" in the strongest sense. Proposals are expected to aim for radical, revolutionary progress in an area of clear importance to breast cancer, rather than incremental advances. The research can be basic, translational, or clinical, and the transformative payoff may be near-term or long-term, but the application must make a clear, explicit case for why the outcomes would be truly game-changing. In other words, applicants are responsible for articulating exactly what would change in the field if the project succeeds, and why that change would matter for patients, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment.
A second core requirement is that the research question addresses an underexplored issue of critical significance in breast cancer. The BCRP emphasizes interest in high-importance topics that are less explored or poorly understood, particularly in areas such as prevention, susceptibility and risk, protective factors, recurrence, and metastasis. The program is open to any discipline or combination of disciplines, including basic, translational, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research, as long as the overall strategy is scientifically sound and aligned with the award's transformative intent. Applications also need to fit this specific mechanism and should not be better suited to other BCRP award types offered in FY09.
Administratively, this opportunity uses grant and cooperative agreement funding instruments in the Science and Technology/Research and Development category (CFDA 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development). The program anticipated making about 5 awards, with an estimated total funding level of approximately $17,000,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of applicant organizations, subject to any additional eligibility details in the full announcement.
A notable FY09 change is the submission process: a preproposal is required, and full application submission is by invitation only. Key dates listed for the opportunity include a posted date of January 24, 2009, and a closing date of June 17, 2009 (with an archive date of July 17, 2009). For assistance, the announcement provides contacts for program announcement help (PA HELP at 301-619-7079 or cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil) and electronic receipt support (eReceipt HELP at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org), along with the CDMRP Help Desk.
