DOD FY12 Lung Cancer Research Program Idea Development Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DOD FY12 Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Idea Development Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-LCRP-IDA) was a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). It was offered under the Military Medical Research and Development CFDA program (12.420) and supported science and technology research aimed at lung cancer. The central purpose of this award was to push forward brand-new, early-stage research concepts that had not yet been fully developed, but that could produce meaningful preliminary data and open up entirely new lines of investigation. In other words, it was built for bold ideas that might be considered too risky for more traditional funding streams, as long as they were grounded in solid scientific reasoning.

This award mechanism specifically emphasized conceptually innovative, high risk/high reward projects. The intent was to encourage research that could plausibly lead to critical discoveries or major advances that would speed progress toward the ultimate goal of reducing and eventually eliminating deaths from lung cancer. While the program welcomed unconventional approaches, it still required applications to be framed around a well-formulated, testable hypothesis supported by a strong scientific rationale. That requirement signaled that the program was not looking for vague speculation; it wanted ambitious ideas presented with a clear biological or clinical logic and a plan to generate convincing, interpretable results.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity fell under the discretionary category and allowed funding through either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The posted date was April 17, 2012, and the application window closed on September 20, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on October 20, 2012. The program anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,240,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for a broader range of applicants and institutions.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to essentially any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. This generally implies a wide applicant pool that could include universities, nonprofit research organizations, small businesses, and other qualified research performers, assuming they met the requirements described in the complete solicitation.

For support, the announcement directed applicants who had trouble accessing the full posting to the CDMRP Help Desk (PA HELP and eReceipt HELP) at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org. This reflects the common CDMRP process where applicants submit through electronic systems and may need technical assistance with portal access, submission steps, or required forms.
