Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Clinical Trial Award (PRMRP CTA), Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-PRMRP-CTA, is a U.S. Department of Defense medical research funding opportunity administered by the Department of the Army through USAMRAA. It is part of the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) and is designed specifically to fund the rapid start-up and execution of clinical trials that could meaningfully change outcomes for diseases or conditions that fall under at least one of the Congressionally directed FY12 PRMRP topic areas. In practical terms, the program is looking for clinical studies that are ready to move forward quickly and that have a clear path to generating clinically useful evidence rather than early-stage lab or preclinical work.
The award supports a broad range of clinical trial types and intervention categories. Proposed trials can test promising medical products, pharmacologic agents such as drugs or biologics, medical devices, clinical guidance or care delivery approaches, and other emerging technologies or methods that could improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or management of relevant conditions. The opportunity is flexible in scope, allowing everything from smaller proof-of-concept efforts (including pilot studies, first-in-human studies, and Phase 0 trials) that establish feasibility or help refine the design of later-stage trials, all the way through larger, more definitive trials intended to determine efficacy in appropriate patient populations. The underlying emphasis is on generating high-impact clinical evidence with the potential to translate into real-world improvements.
A central requirement is that the research must address the healthcare needs of military service members, veterans, and/or other military beneficiaries. Importantly, applicants do not need to recruit exclusively from military populations, and use of military participants is not required, but the justification for military relevance needs to be clear and credible. This typically means the study question, condition, or intervention should map to health issues that affect these communities, or the results should be likely to improve care, readiness, recovery, or long-term health outcomes for them.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with awards made through cooperative agreements and/or grants under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The government anticipated making about 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,600,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to a wider set of institutions and investigators. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional eligibility language in the full announcement.
Key dates for this specific posted opportunity were: Posted and created on March 29, 2012, with an application closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012.
