Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Neurosensory Research Award (NSRA) is a FY2013 funding opportunity under the Department of Defense Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP), within the Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program (CRMRP). It is designed to move neuroscience and rehabilitative medicine research toward practical impact by supporting both applied, preclinical work and clinical trials. The award is centered on neurosensory problems that affect function, recovery, and quality of life, with topic areas that align closely with common challenges in military and veteran populations. A clear emphasis is placed on research connected to traumatic brain injury (TBI), and proposals that directly address TBI-related neurosensory issues are especially encouraged.
The program targets a defined set of Focus Areas: pain management, hearing loss or hearing dysfunction, balance disorders, and tinnitus. In practice, this means applicants could propose studies that test interventions, technologies, or therapeutic approaches aimed at reducing pain, improving auditory function, treating vestibular and balance impairments, or mitigating tinnitus severity and related disability. Because the solicitation explicitly allows both preclinical applied research and clinical trials, it supports a range of development stages, from validated animal or laboratory-based models that have a clear pathway toward human application, to human studies intended to evaluate safety, feasibility, and effectiveness in clinically relevant populations.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was released by the Department of the Army through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). The funding instrument types listed include grants and cooperative agreements, which typically indicates the DoD may choose a standard grant mechanism for some projects while using a cooperative agreement for others where more substantial programmatic involvement or coordination is expected. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for institutions that might otherwise need to provide non-federal funds to participate.
The solicitation anticipated making around eight awards, with an estimated total funding level of $15.2 million. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was generally open to a wide range of applicant organizations and entities, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on October 25, 2013, and the application deadline was February 11, 2014, with an archive date of March 13, 2014, indicating it is no longer active but remains a useful reference for understanding the program goals and funding priorities.
