DOD FY11 Lung Cancer Research Program Concept Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DOD FY11 Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Concept Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH 11 LCRP CA) is a Department of the Army/USAMRAA funding opportunity designed to spark bold, early-stage ideas aimed at reducing and ultimately eliminating deaths from lung cancer. The program vision is broad and mission-driven, focusing on improving health outcomes for Service members, Veterans, and the American public by supporting research that spans the full lung cancer continuum, including early detection, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and long-term control. A key theme of the opportunity is interdisciplinary work, meaning proposals are expected to draw on and connect multiple scientific or clinical fields when that helps tackle major lung cancer challenges.

This particular mechanism, the Concept Award, is specifically meant for highly innovative and untested research directions. It prioritizes projects that are high risk but potentially high reward, such as new theories, paradigms, technologies, or methods that could open up entirely new lines of investigation. The award is not meant to fund incremental next steps of an existing, well-developed research program. Instead, it is aimed at giving principal investigators room to pursue fresh ideas, unexpected findings, or unconventional approaches that might not yet have extensive supporting data. Applications are expected to clearly explain what makes the concept new and why it matters, including how it would expand current understanding of lung cancer or establish a genuinely new avenue for future research.

The opportunity also emphasizes collaboration with military- and Veteran-focused research and care environments. While applicants are generally unrestricted in terms of organizational type, the announcement encourages submissions from, and partnerships with, investigators working at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, military laboratories, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers, and collaborations involving research laboratories or industry. This reflects an interest in connecting innovative science with settings that can accelerate relevance to military and Veteran health needs and, potentially, translation to real-world impact.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, awards were expected to be made as grants and/or cooperative agreements under the DOD medical research and development assistance listing (CFDA 12.420). The program anticipated making about 14 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,680,000 for this competition. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for applicants proposing early-stage concepts. The opportunity was posted on September 12, 2011, and closed on November 9, 2011, with an archive date of December 9, 2011.

Overall, the LCRP Concept Award is best understood as seed funding for daring lung cancer research ideas that may not be ready for larger-scale support yet but could generate the preliminary evidence needed for future, more comprehensive studies. The intended outcome is not necessarily a fully validated solution within the project period, but rather the creation of promising new directions and early data that can justify and strengthen subsequent applications for continued research funding.
