Opportunity Summary:
The DoD PH/TBI Comprehensive Universal Prevention/Health Promotion Interventions Award (FY15 CUP/HPI) was a Department of Defense research funding opportunity run through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under the Psychological Health/Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program. Its core purpose was to fund research that builds, adapts, improves, and rigorously tests broad, universal prevention and health promotion interventions designed specifically for military populations and settings. Rather than focusing on a single narrow outcome, the announcement emphasized comprehensive approaches that can influence multiple behaviors and outcomes at once, including interventions delivered at the individual, unit, installation, or broader system level.
This opportunity supported projects aimed at developing new interventions, adapting existing evidence-based programs to the military context, and improving the efficiency or optimization of prevention and health promotion strategies. A key theme was "universal" prevention, meaning approaches intended for broad groups (for example, all service members in a unit or installation) rather than only for those already identified as high-risk or already diagnosed. The call also encouraged systems-level approaches, which typically refers to changes in policies, processes, leadership practices, service delivery models, or other structural features that shape health and readiness outcomes across a population.
In terms of funding mechanics, the award allowed for either a grant or a cooperative agreement, with the overall program categorized under science and technology research and development. The estimated total funding available was $7.5 million, with an expectation of about four awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes participation more feasible for a wide range of research organizations. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. The posting date was September 2, 2015, and the application deadline was January 14, 2016, after which it was archived on February 13, 2016. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating the submission system were directed to the CDMRP help desk via phone (301-682-5507) or email (help@eBRAP.org).
Overall, the CUP/HPI award was geared toward prevention and health promotion research with practical military relevance, prioritizing interventions and system changes that can be implemented in real military environments and that can produce broad, multi-outcome benefits related to psychological health and traumatic brain injury across service member populations.
