DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Technology/Therapeutic Development Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (PRMRP TTDA), funding opportunity number W81XWH-11-PRMRP-TTDA, is a FY2011 Department of Defense program run through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), aimed at turning strong preclinical research results into real, usable medical products. The emphasis is clearly product-driven rather than purely exploratory research. In practical terms, the government is looking for projects that are past the early discovery stage and are ready to be pushed through key development steps that move a candidate technology or therapeutic closer to clinical use. Proposed products must align with at least one of the congressionally directed FY11 PRMRP topic areas, meaning applicants need to fit their work into those defined medical priorities rather than proposing unrelated biomedical development.

The purpose of the award is translational: it supports the “bench-to-bedside” work required to make something clinically applicable, such as optimizing a prototype or lead compound, completing additional preclinical validation, developing manufacturing or formulation approaches, generating data packages that support regulatory strategy, or otherwise preparing for clinical application. The announcement also underscores a mission focus: products should address the health care needs of military service members, veterans, and other eligible beneficiaries. That framing matters because it signals the DoD’s preference for solutions that are relevant to real-world military and veteran health challenges, including conditions and injuries that may be more common or uniquely impactful in those populations.

This opportunity was offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement under the “Science and Technology and other Research and Development” activity category, within CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The use of these instruments implies support for research and development with a clear deliverable orientation, and cooperative agreements can involve more substantial programmatic involvement from the funding agency than a standard grant, depending on the project and terms. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants who might not have non-federal funds available to contribute.

In terms of scale and competitiveness, the DoD expected to make about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,750,000. That combination of a limited number of awards and a relatively substantial total funding pool suggests a competitive process oriented toward a small number of well-developed, high-potential projects. Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,” meaning the competition was open to essentially any type of applicant organization, as long as they met any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement.

Key dates for the opportunity were: posted and created on April 22, 2011; original and current closing date of July 5, 2011; and an archive date of August 4, 2011. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507. Overall, the PRMRP TTDA is best understood as a targeted DoD translational funding mechanism designed to move promising preclinical medical technologies and therapeutics toward clinical readiness in areas Congress directed the program to prioritize, with an explicit focus on outcomes that matter to military and veteran health.
