Opportunity Summary:
The DOD FY11 Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Impact Award is a competitive funding opportunity from the Department of the Army (USAMRAA) designed to support bold, high-impact breast cancer research with the potential to fundamentally change what is known or what is possible in the field. The program is looking for projects that go beyond incremental progress and instead aim for a radical, potentially transformative leap in understanding, preventing, or treating breast cancer, with the long-term goal of contributing to eradication of the disease. Projects can range from small to large in scope, but they must be built on a strong scientific foundation and backed by convincing preliminary data and/or strong published evidence.
A central priority of this award is work that tackles critical breast cancer problems that remain poorly understood, especially areas tied to susceptibility (who is at risk and why), recurrence (why cancers return after treatment), and metastasis (how and why cancers spread). The emphasis is not limited to one type of science; proposals can come from any discipline or a mix of disciplines, including basic laboratory research, translational efforts that bridge lab findings into clinical use, clinical research (including clinical trials), behavioral studies, and epidemiological investigations. Regardless of approach, the defining feature is impact: the proposed research must plausibly lead to major advances, either in the near term or over a longer horizon, as long as the expected benefit is substantial and clearly non-incremental.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted July 25, 2011 under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-11-BCRP-IMPT and is offered as either a grant or cooperative agreement within the Science and Technology/Research and Development category. The estimated total funding amount is $6,000,000, with an anticipated two awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to different types of applicant organizations, subject to any additional eligibility notes contained in the full announcement. The application deadline was December 22, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived on January 21, 2012. For technical access issues related to the electronic announcement or submission systems, applicants were directed to the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507.
FAQs: DOD FY11 Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Impact Award
What is the DOD FY11 BCRP Impact Award?
The DOD FY11 Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Impact Award is a competitive funding opportunity from the Department of the Army (USAMRAA) intended to support bold, high-impact breast cancer research. The focus is on projects with the potential to fundamentally change what is known or what is possible in the field, rather than producing incremental advances.
What kind of research does this award aim to support?
This award targets research that aims for a radical, potentially transformative leap in understanding, preventing, or treating breast cancer, with a long-term goal of contributing to eradication of the disease. Projects may be small or large in scope, but they must be grounded in strong science and supported by convincing preliminary data and/or strong published evidence.
What does "impact" mean for this specific award?
For this opportunity, "impact" means the proposed research must plausibly lead to major advances that are clearly non-incremental. The expected benefit can be near-term or longer-term, but it must be substantial and presented as a meaningful leap forward rather than a modest improvement on existing work.
Are there specific breast cancer problem areas that are prioritized?
Yes. A central priority is work that tackles critical breast cancer problems that remain poorly understood, especially areas tied to susceptibility (who is at risk and why), recurrence (why cancers return after treatment), and metastasis (how and why cancers spread).
Is the award limited to a specific research discipline or method?
No. Proposals can come from any discipline or a mix of disciplines. The opportunity explicitly allows approaches including basic laboratory research, translational efforts that bridge lab findings into clinical use, clinical research (including clinical trials), behavioral studies, and epidemiological investigations.
Can clinical trials be supported under this funding opportunity?
Yes. The description states that clinical research, including clinical trials, can fall within the types of work supported, as long as the proposal meets the program's emphasis on major, non-incremental impact.
Do projects need preliminary data to be competitive?
The opportunity indicates that projects must be built on a strong scientific foundation and backed by convincing preliminary data and/or strong published evidence. This suggests applicants should be prepared to support the concept with data and/or publications that make the case for feasibility and impact.
What is the long-term goal of the research supported by this award?
The long-term goal described is to contribute to the eradication of breast cancer by supporting work that can meaningfully change understanding, prevention, or treatment.
