Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Investigator Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity run through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP). Its purpose is to fund investigator-initiated biomedical research studies that can make a meaningful contribution to understanding how a disease or condition begins (initiation), how it worsens over time (progression), and/or how patient care can be improved. Projects must align with at least one of the congressionally directed FY10 PRMRP topic areas, meaning proposals need to fit within the specific research topics Congress designated for that fiscal year rather than being general or unrelated medical research.
A central requirement of this award is clear military relevance. Applicants are expected to explain, in a direct and specific way, how the proposed research addresses the health care needs of the Armed Forces, military family members, and/or the U.S. veteran population. The intent is to ensure that funded work has a plausible pathway to benefiting service members and the military health system, whether through better prevention, improved diagnosis or monitoring, more effective treatment strategies, or improvements in clinical care practices. While collaboration is not mandatory, partnerships with military researchers/clinicians and/or U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) investigators are explicitly encouraged, reflecting the program's emphasis on real-world applicability for military and veteran health settings.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement within the federal "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category. The program anticipated making about 26 awards, supported by an estimated total funding level of $28,275,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key identifying details include Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-PRMRP-IIRA and CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The announcement was posted on January 29, 2010, with an application closing date of August 5, 2010, and it was archived on September 4, 2010. For assistance, the notice referenced program announcement help and the CDMRP eReceipt/Help Desk contacts, which are commonly used for technical access issues and submission troubleshooting.
