Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Neurosensory and Rehabilitation Research Award (NSRRA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity run through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the broader Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP). DMRDP exists to push medical science forward in areas that are directly relevant to the realities of modern military service, especially needs that have become clear through battlefield experience. Within DMRDP, this award aligns with two connected efforts: the Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program (CRMRP), which emphasizes innovations in definitive care and rehabilitation to help wounded Service Members regain duty performance and quality of life, and the Psychological Health/Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program (PH/TBIRP), which aims to coordinate and support research that improves the prevention, detection, and treatment of psychological health conditions and traumatic brain injury (TBI), with an explicit focus on function, wellness, and long-term quality of life for Service Members as well as their caregivers and families.
The NSRRA is specifically designed to fund research that addresses TBI through neurosensory and rehabilitation lenses, supporting either applied/preclinical work or clinical trials. Applicants are expected to choose the research approach that best fits their hypothesis and stage of development, meaning proposals can range from translational studies that build evidence and readiness for human testing to clinical studies that directly evaluate interventions in people. The opportunity narrows its interests to defined focus areas that are highly relevant to TBI-related impairment and recovery: pain management, hearing loss or hearing dysfunction, balance disorders, tinnitus, vision issues, and physical rehabilitation. In practical terms, the program is looking for projects that can plausibly improve clinical care, rehabilitation outcomes, and day-to-day functioning after TBI, rather than purely exploratory work without a clear path toward impact.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this was a discretionary science and technology/research and development opportunity offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-14-CRMRP-NSRRA). The estimated total funding level listed is $38,000,000, with an expected 20 awards, and it falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many entity types, subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. Key dates show the opportunity was posted November 13, 2014, with closing dates in February 2015, and it was later archived in March 2015.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating the electronic submission system, the listing points to the CDMRP Help Desk (help@eBRAP.org, 301-682-5507), reflecting that proposals were handled through the CDMRP/eBRAP ecosystem commonly used for DoD medical research competitions.
