Opportunity Summary:
The DOD Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) Concept Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-PRCRP-CA) is a U.S. Army/USAMRAA funding opportunity designed to back early-stage, high-risk cancer research ideas that could open up completely new directions in the field. The core purpose is to support the exploration of a highly innovative concept or an untested theory rather than incremental work that simply extends an existing, already-established research project. This award is meant to fund bold, exploratory studies where the payoff could be substantial, even if the chance of failure is higher than in more conventional research programs.
A key feature of this Concept Award is that preliminary data cannot be included or used as a selling point in the application. Instead, applicants must provide a clear scientific rationale that explains why the idea is plausible and worth pursuing, even without prior supporting results. In practical terms, the program is intended to help a Principal Investigator generate the initial proof-of-concept or foundational findings that could later support applications to other grant mechanisms that do require preliminary data. The emphasis is on novelty, creativity, and the potential to uncover new investigative avenues, not on delivering a predictable next step in an ongoing line of work.
Proposed projects must fall strictly within at least one of the FY10 PRCRP Topic Areas, and no other topic areas are permitted. For FY10, Congress directed PRCRP funds to the following areas: melanoma and other skin cancers; pediatric brain tumors; genetic cancer research and genomic medicine; kidney cancer; blood cancers; colorectal cancer; Listeria vaccine for cancer; and radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology. Just as important as what is allowed is what is explicitly not allowed: applications must not propose research focused on breast, prostate, lung, or ovarian cancers.
From an administrative and funding perspective, the opportunity was offered under either a grant or cooperative agreement structure and is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The program anticipated making about 4 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the program was broadly open to various applicant entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates tied to the solicitation show it was posted on July 14, 2010, with an application closing date of September 29, 2010, and an archive date of October 29, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), reflecting its placement within the Department of Defense medical research portfolio. For applicant support, the announcement provided contact points for assistance accessing the full posting and for electronic submission troubleshooting, including PA HELP (301-619-7079, cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil) and the eReceipt/CDMRP Help Desk (301-682-5507, help@cdmrp.org).
