Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Genetic Studies of Food Allergies Idea Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-GSFARP-IA) is a U.S. Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) funding opportunity focused on early-stage, high-impact research tied specifically to the genetics of food allergies. It is positioned as an "Idea Award," meaning the emphasis is on originality and innovation rather than incremental progress. The program is looking for projects that are likely to open up genuinely new lines of inquiry in the field, especially approaches that could shift how researchers think about genetic contributions to food allergy risk, mechanisms, or identification.
A central requirement of the opportunity is that proposed research must be driven by a well-formulated and testable hypothesis, supported by strong scientific rationale. In practical terms, the grant is not meant to fund broad exploratory work without a clear question, and it is not intended for projects that mainly continue, extend, or scale up existing research programs. Instead, reviewers are being asked to prioritize applications that introduce new concepts, new analytical strategies, novel genetic targets, or unconventional but defensible methodologies that have a high probability of revealing "new avenues of investigation" in food allergy genetics.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary research and development award in the science and technology category, offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant. The opportunity anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $900,000 across all awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the burden on applicants and can be important for smaller institutions or early-stage teams.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might appear in the full announcement. The program is cataloged under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), reflecting its placement within the Department of Defense medical research enterprise and its interest in advancing knowledge that could have broad health relevance, potentially including military beneficiaries and the general public.
Key dates for the competition show it 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. The archive date is July 10, 2010, indicating the announcement is no longer active after that point, though the details remain useful for understanding the program's intent and priorities.
For applicant support, the announcement lists assistance contacts for technical access issues and submission systems, including the CDMRP Help Desk and dedicated phone/email support lines. If an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically at the time, they were directed to contact PA HELP at 301-619-7079 or cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil, and for electronic receipt issues to call 301-682-5507 or email help@cdmrp.org.
