Opportunity Summary:
The Restorative Transplantation Research (RTR) Cooperative Agreement is a Fiscal Year 2012 funding opportunity from the Department of Defense (through the Defense Health Program Research and Development Office and administered by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity). Its main purpose is to support innovative, high-impact research that can meaningfully improve function, wellness, and overall quality of life for injured military Service members and veterans, as well as their caregivers, family members, and ultimately the broader public. The program is positioned within a science and technology research and development context and targets restorative transplantation, a field also referred to as reconstructive composite tissue allotransplantation or vascularized composite allotransplantation, which includes complex transplants involving multiple tissue types.
A central theme of the opportunity is accelerating progress in a maturing field by pushing for new directions and addressing gaps or neglected issues in restorative transplantation research. While the program explicitly seeks bold and potentially practice-changing ideas, it also makes clear that proposals must be grounded in a solid scientific rationale rather than being purely speculative. The announcement emphasizes laboratory-focused research with a strong translational intent, meaning projects should be designed to move promising findings toward real clinical use rather than remaining isolated in preclinical exploration.
The program places special value on work that can modify, restructure, or otherwise improve clinical practice guidelines for restorative transplantation. It also prioritizes research approaches that can be rapidly integrated into clinical practice, reflecting a sense of urgency around improving care for patients with severe injuries. Applicants are encouraged to draw from the mature infrastructure of solid organ transplantation, particularly in areas like standardizing protocols and processes, suggesting that the funder is interested not only in new discoveries but also in improving consistency, safety, and scalability across restorative transplantation programs.
Collaboration is strongly encouraged and is treated as a key mechanism for impact. The opportunity calls for multi-institutional and multidisciplinary partnerships that bring clinicians and basic scientists together to speed translation into clinical applications. Proposals involving the military Services are highlighted as especially welcome, and collaborations spanning academia, industry, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other federal agencies are explicitly encouraged. The cooperative agreement mechanism also signals that the government anticipates an active role in coordination and oversight compared to a standard grant, with the intent of aligning funded work closely to program goals and facilitating progress toward deliverables that matter for patient care.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply as long as they meet any additional eligibility notes contained in the full announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for applicants who may not have non-federal funds to contribute. The opportunity anticipated a small number of awards (expected awards: 1) with a relatively large total funding level for the program cycle (estimated total funding: $13,750,000), implying a preference for a substantial, coordinated effort rather than many small, disconnected projects.
The announcement also encourages applicants to leverage already funded restorative transplantation procedures as platforms for investigating other parts of the knowledge base, which reflects a practical emphasis on building efficiently from existing clinical activity and infrastructure. Applicants are further encouraged to show a portfolio of research projects spanning a range of development stages, suggesting the program values a pipeline approach that can include nearer-term clinical translation alongside earlier-stage foundational work, as long as the overall plan is coherent and positioned for significant impact in restorative transplantation.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number W81XWH-12-CRMRP-RTR, a posting date of October 3, 2012, and an original/current closing date of December 5, 2012, with an archive date of January 4, 2013. The CFDA listing is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For access issues or help with the announcement, the contact provided is the CDMRP Help Desk at help@cdmrp.org or 301-682-5507.
