DOD FY11 Lung Cancer Early Investigator Synergistic Idea Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DOD FY11 Lung Cancer Early Investigator Synergistic Idea Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-11-LCRP-EISIA) is a FY2011 Department of Defense lung cancer research funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Lung Cancer Research Program. Its central purpose is to spark high-impact, innovative lung cancer research by funding true collaborations between two independent early-career investigators who bring complementary expertise to the same core research problem. The award is built around the idea that certain lung cancer questions are best solved when clinical insight and patient-facing experience are tightly integrated with mechanistic, laboratory-based investigation, so it is explicitly designed to promote partnerships between a clinician and a laboratory scientist rather than single-investigator projects.

Eligibility is tightly focused on career stage and independence. The application must name two Principal Investigators, and both must be independent investigators who are at or below the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent). In addition, each PI must be within the first five years of their first faculty appointment, whether on a tenure-track or non-tenure-track line (or an equivalent appointment structure). In practical terms, this opportunity is meant for investigators who have moved beyond trainee or mentored roles and are establishing their own programs, but who are still early enough in their careers that targeted support and the right collaborative structure can meaningfully shape their scientific trajectory.

The program strongly encourages collaborative proposals that are genuinely synergistic, meaning the two investigators should not simply divide tasks, but instead combine perspectives in a way that produces a stronger, more innovative approach than either could achieve alone. While multi-institutional collaborations are encouraged, they are not mandatory, so teams can be formed within the same institution or across different universities, medical centers, or research organizations. The announcement also highlights interest in submissions from, and partnerships with, investigators based at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, military laboratories, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research labs, and industry, reflecting the program goal of connecting academic research with military and veteran health systems and with translational or technology-development capabilities.

From a funding mechanics standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and supports awards made as grants and/or cooperative agreements under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The total estimated funding level listed is $2,556,000, with an expected four awards, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted June 15, 2011, with an original and final application closing date of November 9, 2011, and an archive date of December 9, 2011. For administrative or submission issues, the announcement directs applicants to the CDMRP Help Desk (PA HELP and eReceipt HELP) at 301-682-5507, which is typical for CDMRP-managed funding opportunities that use centralized electronic submission systems.

Overall, this award targets early-career, independent lung cancer researchers who can demonstrate a well-integrated clinician-lab scientist partnership, a clearly articulated high-impact lung cancer question, and a collaborative plan where the combined expertise is essential to the project rather than incidental. It is positioned as a career-building, collaboration-forcing mechanism intended to accelerate creative, translationally relevant lung cancer research by pairing clinical reality with laboratory innovation.
