Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Investigator Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is a Department of the Army, USAMRAA funding opportunity meant to back investigator-driven studies that can meaningfully advance research and/or patient care for diseases or conditions that fall within at least one of the Congressionally directed FY15 PRMRP Topic Areas. The core idea is to give researchers room to pursue strong, well-justified questions that originate from real scientific or clinical signals, whether those signals come from laboratory discoveries, population-based findings, direct clinical experience with patients, or even well-grounded anecdotal observations that point to a credible unmet need. A key expectation is that the application does not rely on speculation alone; it must include data that support the rationale for the proposed work, and those supporting data can be either unpublished preliminary results or evidence drawn from the published literature.
This award is framed around impact rather than incremental progress. The program is specifically looking for projects likely to generate highly impactful data that could catalyze critical discoveries or lead to major advancements in a given field or in clinical care. Because of that emphasis, the Principal Investigator is expected to clearly spell out what the project is likely to produce in both the near term and the longer term. Those outcomes or products can be intellectual (for example, new knowledge, validated hypotheses, or clarified disease mechanisms) and/or material (for example, candidate diagnostics, biomarkers, tools, datasets, or therapeutic leads). Just as important, the PI must connect those outputs to a central, critical problem or question within the relevant FY15 PRMRP Topic Area(s), explaining how the proposed work could shift the field or improve patient care rather than simply adding another small data point.
Administratively, the opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-15-PRMRP-IIRA and categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity in the Science and Technology / Research and Development space. Awards were to be made as grants and/or cooperative agreements, with an anticipated 45 awards and an estimated total funding level of $87,750,000. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key dates for the posted announcement were April 17, 2015 (posted/created), with an original and final application closing date of October 15, 2015, and an archive date of November 14, 2015. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed support contact was the CDMRP Help Desk via help@eBRAP.org or 301-682-5507.

The Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Investigator Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity administered by the Department of the Army through USAMRAA. It is intended to support investigator-driven medical research studies that can meaningfully advance research and/or patient care for diseases or conditions covered by at least one of the Congressionally directed FY15 PRMRP Topic Areas.
Who is the sponsoring agency?
The opportunity is associated with the Department of Defense (DoD) and administered by the Department of the Army via USAMRAA (U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity).
What is the official funding opportunity number?
The Funding Opportunity Number (FON) is W81XWH-15-PRMRP-IIRA.
What type of projects is the IIRA meant to support?
The IIRA is designed for investigator-initiated studies built around strong, well-justified research questions that come from credible scientific or clinical signals. Those signals may come from laboratory discoveries, population-based findings, clinical experience, or well-grounded anecdotal observations that point to a credible unmet need.
Does the program require preliminary data or supporting evidence?
Yes. A key expectation is that the application is not based on speculation alone. The rationale for the proposed work must be supported by data, which can include unpublished preliminary results and/or evidence drawn from the published literature.
What does the program mean by focusing on "impact" rather than incremental progress?
The program prioritizes projects likely to generate highly impactful data that could catalyze critical discoveries or lead to major advancements in a field or in clinical care, rather than projects that only add a small incremental data point.
What must the Principal Investigator (PI) explain about expected outcomes?
The PI is expected to clearly describe what the project is likely to produce in the near term and in the longer term, and to connect those expected outputs to a central, critical problem or question within the relevant FY15 PRMRP Topic Area(s).
What kinds of deliverables or products are expected from funded research?
Expected outputs can be intellectual and/or material. Examples of intellectual outputs include new knowledge, validated hypotheses, or clarified disease mechanisms. Examples of material outputs include candidate diagnostics, biomarkers, tools, datasets, or therapeutic leads.
How should applicants connect their proposed work to PRMRP Topic Areas?
The proposed research must address diseases or conditions that fall within at least one of the Congressionally directed FY15 PRMRP Topic Areas. The PI should explain how the project addresses a central problem or question within those Topic Area(s) and how it could shift the field or improve patient care.
