Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Investigator Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is a Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to support investigator-driven medical research projects that can make a meaningful impact on research and/or patient care. The emphasis is on studies that address a disease or condition aligned with at least one of the Congressionally directed FY12 PRMRP topic areas. In practice, this means applicants must clearly connect their proposed work to one or more of those specified topic areas and demonstrate why the project matters for advancing knowledge, improving clinical practice, or both.
This award is intentionally broad in the kinds of science it will support, allowing projects across the full research spectrum. Proposals may range from basic laboratory research to translational research, including preclinical studies using animal models, studies involving human subjects, and correlative studies that are tied to an existing clinical trial. The program also recognizes that strong research ideas can originate from different starting points, such as a new laboratory finding, patterns observed in population-based datasets, or insights derived from direct clinical experience with patients (including well-supported anecdotal observations). Regardless of the origin of the idea, the application is expected to present a clear scientific rationale and show how the work could contribute in an important way to the field or to patient outcomes.
A key requirement is that applications include relevant supporting data that justify the proposed study and demonstrate feasibility. The announcement explicitly allows these supporting data to be unpublished and/or drawn from published literature, as long as they credibly support the rationale. This expectation signals that proposals should not be purely speculative; they should be grounded in evidence that the approach is plausible and that the project can realistically be executed.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted February 28, 2012, with an original and final closing date of July 31, 2012, and an archive date of August 30, 2012. The funding instrument types include cooperative agreements and grants, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The program anticipated making about 23 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $25.9 million. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which reduces the financial burden on applicants and can broaden participation.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement under eligibility details. The administering agency is the Department of the Army, specifically USAMRAA. For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the notice provides the CDMRP Help Desk contact information (301-682-5507 and help@cdmrp.org).
