Opportunity Summary:
The DOD Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Concept Award is a U.S. Army/USAMRAA funding opportunity designed to back bold, early-stage ideas in lung cancer research. Its main purpose is to help investigators explore highly innovative concepts or untested theories that address an important lung cancer problem, especially where the work is considered high risk but could open up entirely new directions for the field. Rather than funding incremental extensions of ongoing projects, this mechanism is meant for investigators who want to follow a surprising finding, a serendipitous observation, or a genuinely new hypothesis that does not yet have a mature evidence base.
A key expectation is that the proposal clearly explains what is new and why it matters. Applicants need to show how their idea could meaningfully expand current knowledge about lung cancer or create a new research avenue that did not previously exist. Because the emphasis is on innovation and potential impact, the program is positioned as a launchpad: the work funded under a Concept Award is intended to produce enough preliminary data to support a stronger, future proposal for larger-scale lung cancer research.
The opportunity is offered as either a grant or cooperative agreement under the Science and Technology/Research and Development category (CFDA 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development). The program anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,200,000 across all awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for institutions that may not have discretionary funds to contribute.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. At the same time, the program explicitly encourages submissions from, and partnerships with, investigators working at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, military laboratories, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers and research labs. That encouragement signals an interest in projects that can leverage military and VA research environments, populations, clinical access, or specialized infrastructure, even though collaboration with those entities is not presented as an absolute requirement in the summary text.
Administrative details in the posting show the opportunity was published July 21, 2009, with an original and final closing date of September 3, 2009, and an archive date of October 3, 2009 (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH 09 LCRP CA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): DOD Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Concept Award
1) What is the DOD Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Concept Award?
The LCRP Concept Award is a U.S. Army/USAMRAA funding opportunity intended to support bold, early-stage lung cancer research ideas. It is designed for projects that are highly innovative and potentially high risk, where the payoff could be a new direction for the lung cancer research field.
2) What is the main goal of this award mechanism?
The main goal is to let investigators explore highly innovative concepts or untested theories that address an important lung cancer problem. The emphasis is on novelty and potential impact rather than incremental progress on an already-established research path.
3) What kinds of research ideas are considered a good fit?
This mechanism is positioned for ideas such as a surprising finding, a serendipitous observation, or a genuinely new hypothesis that does not yet have a mature evidence base. The summary describes the award as a way to pursue concepts that may be considered high risk but could open entirely new research avenues.
4) What kinds of projects are not the focus of this award?
The Concept Award is described as not intended to fund incremental extensions of ongoing projects. In other words, it is aimed at new and innovative directions rather than continuing or slightly expanding existing work.
5) What does the program expect applicants to explain in the proposal?
A key expectation is that the proposal clearly explains what is new and why it matters. Applicants are expected to show how the idea could meaningfully expand current knowledge about lung cancer or create a new research avenue that did not previously exist.
6) Why does the program emphasize “high risk” research?
The summary indicates the program is meant to back ideas that may be considered high risk because they are early stage or untested, but that could lead to major advances by opening new directions for the field.
7) Is this award meant to generate preliminary data?
Yes. The Concept Award is presented as a launchpad intended to produce enough preliminary data to support a stronger future proposal for larger-scale lung cancer research.
8) What type of funding instrument is used (grant vs. cooperative agreement)?
The opportunity is offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement, as stated in the posting.
9) What is the program category and CFDA listing?
The posting lists the category as Science and Technology/Research and Development and provides CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
