Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-PRMRP-CTA) is a U.S. Department of the Army/USAMRAA funding opportunity designed to accelerate the launch and execution of clinical trials that can quickly produce meaningful, real-world improvements for patients. The emphasis is on rapid implementation, meaning the program is looking for trials that are ready to move forward and that test interventions with a strong chance of making a significant difference in a disease or condition that falls under at least one of the congressionally directed FY10 Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) topic areas. The trials may focus on prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and/or quality of life, as long as the work is clearly connected to one of the FY10 PRMRP topics and is positioned to generate actionable clinical evidence.
A central requirement of this award is clear military relevance. Every application must explicitly explain how the proposed clinical trial addresses the health care needs of the Armed Forces, military family members, and/or the U.S. veteran population. This does not mean the study must enroll active-duty service members or be conducted on a military installation, but it does mean the clinical question, target condition, and expected impact must be directly tied to issues that matter for military and veteran health. The solicitation also encourages collaboration with military and/or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers and clinicians, reflecting a preference for teams that can bridge academic, civilian, and federal clinical environments. At the same time, the opportunity makes it clear that use of military populations is not required, and it strongly recommends recruiting civilian populations as an alternative when appropriate, likely to improve feasibility, enrollment speed, and generalizability while still maintaining military relevance through the condition studied and the intended impact.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary research and development opportunity in the science and technology category, offered through either a cooperative agreement or a grant mechanism. The program anticipated making about two awards, with an estimated total funding level of $6.6 million, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of organizations (for example, academic institutions, nonprofits, for-profits, and other entities), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on January 29, 2010, with an application deadline of May 13, 2010, and it was archived on June 12, 2010. The CFDA number associated with this program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
For applicants, the practical takeaway is that proposals needed to present a well-justified, clinically important intervention, a trial design that can be implemented quickly, and a straightforward explanation of why the results would matter to service members, their families, or veterans. Competitive applications would also be expected to show readiness factors typical for clinical trials (such as a credible recruitment plan and strong clinical oversight), and they would benefit from meaningful partnerships with military or VA clinicians even if the participants are civilians. For help accessing the full announcement or resolving submission issues, the posting provided contact points through the CDMRP and USAMRAA support channels, including PA HELP and the CDMRP eReceipt/Help Desk.
