Opportunity Summary:
The DoD FY15 Bone Marrow Failure Research Program (BMFRP) Idea Development Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity meant to push the field of bone marrow failure (BMF) research forward by backing genuinely new and potentially high-impact research directions. The program is centered on the BMFRP mission of improving understanding of bone marrow failure diseases and ultimately enabling cures. In practice, the award is aimed at projects that are innovative but still grounded in solid scientific evidence, with the expectation that the work will open up new lines of investigation rather than simply extending well-trodden approaches.
This mechanism is specifically designed for idea generation and early exploration of promising concepts. Applications are expected to present a well-formulated, testable hypothesis supported by a strong scientific rationale, along with a clearly developed and well-articulated research plan. The emphasis is on studies that have a high probability of uncovering new avenues for the BMF field. Another key expectation is that the research team has meaningful expertise in bone marrow failure research, signaling that while the ideas should be new, the investigators should have the background needed to execute rigorous work and interpret results in a clinically and biologically relevant context.
Eligibility is broadly open (unrestricted by organization type, subject to any specific clarifications in the full announcement), and the opportunity is available to both established investigators and early career investigators. A notable FY15 feature is an explicit effort to encourage early career participation: the program allows for one or more meritorious applications from early career investigators to be supported, and early career applicants are reviewed using different criteria for the personnel component during peer review. For this program, an early career investigator is defined as someone within 10 years of completing a terminal degree (a doctorate or medical degree), with allowances to exclude time spent in medical residency or family medical leave; applicants are expected to clearly explain this status in their biographical sketch.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted March 3, 2015, with an application deadline of July 21, 2015 (archived August 20, 2015). It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH 15 BMFRP IDA and falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The agency is the Department of the Army, managed through USAMRAA. The award instruments include cooperative agreements and grants, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,880,000 across awards.
For applicants needing access help or administrative assistance, the opportunity points to the CDMRP help desk via eBRAP (help@eBRAP.org, 301-682-5507).
FAQs: DoD FY15 Bone Marrow Failure Research Program (BMFRP) Idea Development Award
What is the DoD FY15 BMFRP Idea Development Award?
The Bone Marrow Failure Research Program (BMFRP) Idea Development Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity intended to push bone marrow failure (BMF) research forward by supporting genuinely new, potentially high-impact research directions that align with the BMFRP mission of improving understanding of bone marrow failure diseases and ultimately enabling cures.
What is the main goal of this award mechanism?
This mechanism is designed for idea generation and early exploration of promising concepts. The expectation is that funded work will open new lines of investigation for the BMF field rather than simply extending well-established approaches.
What kinds of projects are a good fit for this opportunity?
Projects that are innovative yet grounded in solid scientific evidence are the best fit. Applications are expected to propose a well-formulated, testable hypothesis supported by a strong scientific rationale and a clearly developed research plan, with an emphasis on a high probability of uncovering new avenues for bone marrow failure research.
Does this award support early-stage or exploratory research?
Yes. The award is specifically intended for early exploration of promising concepts and for generating new ideas that can move the field in new directions.
Does the application need a hypothesis and research plan?
Yes. Applications are expected to include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis, a strong scientific rationale, and a clearly developed and well-articulated research plan.
How important is innovation versus evidence?
The opportunity emphasizes innovation, but it also expects the proposed idea to be grounded in solid scientific evidence. In other words, novelty is encouraged, but proposals should still be scientifically justified and feasible to execute rigorously.
Do investigators need prior experience in bone marrow failure research?
The program expects the research team to have meaningful expertise in bone marrow failure research. While the research direction should be new, investigators are expected to have the background needed to carry out rigorous work and interpret results in a clinically and biologically relevant context.
