Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Gulf War Illness (GWI) Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-GWIRP-CTA) is a U.S. Department of Defense research funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). It supports science and technology research and development focused specifically on Gulf War Illness, with the intent of moving promising interventions into larger, more decisive human studies. The award mechanism allows funding as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, which generally means projects may be supported as standard assistance awards and, in the case of cooperative agreements, may involve a higher level of programmatic involvement from the DoD compared with a typical grant.
The central purpose of this opportunity is to fund more definitive clinical trials for Gulf War Illness, described as Phase II and Phase III studies. In practical terms, the program is aimed at trials that go beyond early feasibility work and are designed to generate clearer evidence about whether an intervention meaningfully helps veterans with GWI. The announcement emphasizes that the proposed trial should be justified by preliminary clinical or preclinical data suggesting the intervention has real potential for substantial benefit. In other words, this is not meant for exploratory concepts without supporting evidence; it is meant to help advance treatments that already have a credible foundation and are ready to be tested in a rigorous, larger-scale clinical setting.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $2.4 million total, with an expectation of making about two awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), reflecting its placement within the DoD medical research portfolio.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of applicant organizations, subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. This typically indicates that a wide range of entities (for example, universities, nonprofits, small businesses, or other research organizations) could apply, assuming they meet standard federal assistance requirements and any specific conditions laid out in the full program announcement.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on April 14, 2010, with an application deadline of August 4, 2010. The archive date is September 3, 2010, indicating it is an older, closed opportunity rather than an active solicitation. For help obtaining or accessing the full announcement or for submission support, the listing provides contact points for the CDMRP/USAMRAA assistance channels, including PA HELP (301-619-7079, cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil), eReceipt HELP (301-682-5507, help@cdmrp.org), and the CDMRP Help Desk.
