Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Lung Cancer Career Development Award is a funding opportunity under the Department of Defense Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) that was introduced for the first time in fiscal year 2013. It is designed specifically to help early-career, independent investigators build the foundation for a long-term research career in lung cancer. The central idea is to pair a promising investigator with an experienced lung cancer researcher who will serve as a mentor, so the award functions both as research support and as a structured career-development step meant to accelerate the recipient toward becoming a productive, fully independent investigator leading work at the cutting edge of lung cancer research.
The program places a strong emphasis on novel, innovative, discovery-focused research. Applicants are expected to propose original projects that can move the field forward rather than incremental extensions of existing work. While preliminary data is not required, the application still needs to be scientifically convincing: the proposed approach must be backed by clear logic, solid reasoning, and a sound scientific rationale that explains why the project is important, why the approach is appropriate, and how the work could contribute meaningfully to lung cancer understanding, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment. In other words, the program lowers the barrier of needing extensive pilot data, but it does not lower expectations for scientific rigor and well-justified research planning.
Partnerships and collaborations are explicitly encouraged, particularly those involving investigators and resources at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, military laboratories, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers and research laboratories. This signals that the DoD is interested in proposals that can connect with military- and veteran-relevant research environments and potentially leverage clinical populations, infrastructure, or expertise within those systems, even though the award itself is open more broadly.
Administratively, the opportunity was offered by the Department of the Army through USAMRAA. The funding opportunity number is W81XWH-13-LCRP-CDA, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and used assistance instruments including cooperative agreements and grants. The total estimated funding amount listed was $770,000, with an expected two awards, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details provided in the full announcement. Key dates included a posted date of May 21, 2013, and an application deadline of October 16, 2013 (with the archive date on November 15, 2013), making it a time-limited FY13 competition.
For applicant support and access issues, the contact point provided was the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507. Overall, the award was structured as a career-launch mechanism: it combined mentored training, support for an early independent researcher, and encouragement of high-impact, discovery-oriented lung cancer studies, while also promoting ties to military and VA research settings.
