Opportunity Summary:
The DOD FY12 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) Idea Development Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-TSCRP-IDA) was a U.S. Department of Defense research funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). Its purpose was to support high-impact, innovative research projects that could meaningfully advance the TSC research field, with an emphasis on pushing new ideas forward rather than incremental work.
This award mechanism was intended for science and technology and broader research and development efforts, and it allowed funding through either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The program specifically encouraged preclinical research, signaling an interest in mechanistic studies, proof-of-concept work, model system research, and other non-human or translational efforts that could lay the groundwork for future therapeutic or diagnostic advances. At the same time, the announcement explicitly prohibited clinical trials, meaning applicants could not propose interventional human studies that fit typical clinical trial definitions.
A key application requirement was the inclusion of preliminary data directly relevant to tuberous sclerosis complex and to the proposed research project. In practice, this meant applicants needed to demonstrate some existing evidence supporting feasibility or rationale, such as prior results in cell culture, animal models, patient-derived samples, or other TSC-relevant datasets, rather than submitting purely speculative concepts without supporting data.
The opportunity was broadly open in terms of who could apply. Eligible applicants were listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduced barriers for applicants who might not have institutional or third-party resources to contribute.
From a funding and timing standpoint, the program anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,280,000. The opportunity was posted on March 22, 2012 (created March 27, 2012), and the application deadline was May 31, 2012, with the archive date listed as June 30, 2012. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the CDMRP Help Desk (PA HELP and eReceipt HELP) at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org.
