Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Genetic Studies of Food Allergies Concept Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-GSFARP-CA) is a U.S. Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) funding opportunity designed to push genuinely new thinking in the genetics of food allergies. Its central purpose is to fund research ideas that are highly innovative, untested, and potentially transformative, specifically when those ideas address a significant problem tied to the genetic underpinnings of food allergies. The emphasis is not on producing a predictable next step in a mature research line, but on opening up entirely new directions that could reshape how the field understands, investigates, or eventually manages food allergy risk and mechanisms.
This award mechanism is explicitly aimed at high-risk, high-reward work. The program is looking for conceptually bold studies that might introduce a new paradigm, challenge widely held assumptions, or reframe existing questions from a fresh angle. In other words, applicants are expected to propose something that does not simply extend prior findings in a straightforward way. While the research can be risky, it still needs to be grounded in a scientific rationale that makes the core idea plausible and feasible enough to justify investment. The goal is to enable exploratory genetic research that could uncover novel pathways, mechanisms, or models relevant to food allergies, even if the approach departs from conventional methods or established lines of evidence.
A key point in the solicitation is what the award will not support: incremental advances based on published data. Projects that represent a logical continuation of existing work, routine hypothesis testing, or modest extensions of known results are not considered sufficiently innovative for this mechanism and are not intended to be competitive. The program is essentially reserving this funding for proposals where innovation and novelty are the primary strengths, and where the outcomes, if successful, could create new avenues for later, more fully developed investigations.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant. The expected number of awards was seven, with an estimated total funding level of $790,000 across all awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to participate. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open broadly to applicants of any entity type, subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on March 23, 2010, with an original closing date of June 10, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of July 8, 2010, and an archive date of July 10, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with it was 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For practical support, the announcement provided contact points for technical access issues and submission assistance through the CDMRP help resources (including PA HELP and the eReceipt/CDMRP Help Desk).

3) Which government office is offering this funding?
This is a U.S. Department of the Army opportunity administered through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA).
4) What is the main purpose of the Concept Award?
The central purpose is to support genuinely new thinking in the genetics of food allergies by funding research ideas that are highly innovative, untested, and potentially transformative, especially when the idea addresses a significant problem tied to the genetic underpinnings of food allergies.
5) What kind of research approach is this program trying to encourage?
The solicitation emphasizes high-risk, high-reward exploratory genetic research. It is looking for conceptually bold studies that could introduce a new paradigm, challenge widely held assumptions, or reframe existing questions in the field of food allergy genetics.
