FY12 Medical Tropical Research Laboratory Program (MTRLP) Infectious Disease Research Award (IDRA) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY12 Medical Tropical Research Laboratory Program (MTRLP) Infectious Disease Research Award (IDRA) is a U.S. Army-funded cooperative agreement opportunity intended to support a broad range of infectious disease research activities centered in Thailand and the wider Southeast Asia region. The program is run under the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) framework and is designed to be carried out in close coordination with key in-country and regional military-public health partners, specifically the Royal Thai Army Medical Department and the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS). The core aim is to generate practical, operationally relevant evidence and products that help prevent, detect, and manage tropical infectious diseases that matter to both the United States Military and the Royal Thai Army.

In terms of scope, the announcement emphasizes end-to-end infectious disease R and D, spanning basic science through preclinical work and into clinical research. This includes foundational laboratory studies that clarify pathogens, transmission dynamics, immune responses, and potential targets for intervention; applied surveillance and field epidemiology to understand disease burden and risks in militarily relevant settings; animal model testing to evaluate candidate countermeasures or diagnostic approaches; and clinical development efforts, including Phase 1 through Phase 3 clinical trials. The research can involve biologics, drugs, and devices, particularly those intended for detection (diagnostics and screening tools) and prevention (such as vaccines or prophylactic strategies) of tropical infectious diseases. The program framing makes clear that projects should be relevant to real-world operational needs, meaning studies that can feed into force health protection, outbreak readiness, and deployable medical capabilities are a strong fit.

Mechanically, this opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals substantial programmatic involvement from the funding agency during project performance. In practical terms, applicants should expect close coordination with the Army research enterprise and in-region partners, alignment with shared priorities, and a focus on deliverables and execution in environments where military medical research infrastructure and operational considerations play a role. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the emphasis on generating usable scientific outputs and field-ready capabilities rather than purely academic studies.

The funding opportunity number is W81XWH-12-WRAIR-MTRLP-IDRA, and it falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The Department of the Army, through USAMRAA, is the issuing agency. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $42,700,000. The award ceiling is also $42,700,000, with no stated minimum award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that might not have substantial non-federal resources to contribute.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of applicant organizations, subject to any additional conditions in the full announcement. Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on September 9, 2011, with an original closing date of October 31, 2011, later extended to November 14, 2011, and archived on November 30, 2011. For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Wanda Harper, Grants Officer, at 301-619-8094.
