Opportunity Summary:

The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), offered the FY14 Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Focused Program Award as a new funding mechanism intended to speed progress on high-priority medical research questions. The central purpose of this opportunity was to optimize research efforts and accelerate solutions to a critical question tied to one of the designated FY14 PRMRP Focused Program Award Topic Areas (as listed in the official program announcement). Rather than supporting a single standalone study, the award emphasized a coordinated program of work designed to produce stronger, faster outcomes through collaboration and integration across disciplines.

A defining feature of this opportunity was the requirement for an overarching, unifying goal. Applications needed to clearly state a single, program-level question or objective that the proposed effort would address, and then show how a set of interconnected research projects would collectively advance that goal. The DoD specifically framed this as a “synergistic, multidisciplinary research program,” meaning the individual components were expected to complement each other in a way that produces more impact than separate projects would achieve on their own. The overarching goal also needed to be directly relevant to a critical problem or question in research and/or patient care within at least one of the FY14 topic areas, reinforcing that the program was aimed at meaningful, field-driving needs rather than incremental work.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 30, 2014, and closed on November 13, 2014, with an archive date of December 13, 2014. It was offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant under the DoD’s science and technology and research and development funding category. The total estimated funding available was $20,000,000, with an expectation of making approximately two awards, indicating a highly competitive program designed to fund a small number of large, comprehensive efforts. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier for applicants who might not have additional non-federal resources to contribute.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant organizations, subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement. The catalog listing associated with this program was CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For applicant support and access issues, the opportunity directed questions to the CDMRP Help Desk, reachable by phone at 301-682-5507 or by email at help@eBRAP.org. Overall, the grant was structured to fund a tightly integrated research program capable of delivering accelerated progress against a clearly defined, high-importance medical research challenge aligned with DoD PRMRP priorities.

FY14 PRMRP Focused Program Award (DoD/USAMRAA) - FAQs

What is the FY14 PRMRP Focused Program Award?

It is a funding mechanism offered by the Department of Defense (DoD) through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the FY14 Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP). It was introduced as a new mechanism intended to speed progress on high-priority medical research questions.

What is the main purpose of this award?

The central purpose is to optimize research efforts and accelerate solutions to a critical question tied to one of the designated FY14 PRMRP Focused Program Award Topic Areas listed in the official program announcement. The structure is designed to produce stronger, faster outcomes than separate, standalone projects.

Is this award meant to fund a single research study?

No. The award emphasizes a coordinated program of work rather than a single standalone study. Applications were expected to include a set of interconnected research projects that work together toward one unifying objective.

What does the opportunity mean by an "overarching, unifying goal"?

Applications needed to clearly state a single, program-level question or objective that the overall effort would address. The applicant then had to show how multiple linked research projects would collectively advance that single goal.

What does "synergistic, multidisciplinary research program" mean in this context?

It means the program should integrate multiple disciplines and coordinated components so that the combined work produces more impact than the same projects would if pursued separately. The individual projects were expected to complement each other and strengthen the overall outcome through collaboration and integration.

How closely does the proposed research need to align with PRMRP topic areas?

The overarching goal needed to be directly relevant to a critical problem or question in research and/or patient care within at least one of the FY14 PRMRP Focused Program Award Topic Areas (as listed in the official program announcement). The intent was to focus on meaningful, field-driving needs rather than incremental work.
