DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Duchenne Muscul
 ar Dystrophy Research Program (DMDRP) for 2018. The DMDRP Investigator-Ini
 tiated Research Award supports translational research that will accelerate
  the movement of promising ideas in Duchenne research into clinical applic
 ations. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic s
 cience and clinical observations with the specific goal of developing new 
 therapies. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move a concep
 t or observation forward into clinical application\; however\, the researc
 h plan should involve a reciprocal flow of ideas and information between b
 asic and clinical science.\n \nThe proposed research must address at leas
 t one of the FY18 DMDRP Focus Areas. The Focus Areas are listed at the end
  of this announcement.\n \nFunding: Maximum USD $ 600’000\n \nDuration
 : 3 years\n \nEligibility: Applicants from international organizations or
  institutions are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship restric
 tions. Investigators at the level Assistant Professor or higher are eligib
 le to submit applications.  \n \nHow to Apply: Pre-applications are subm
 itted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information\
 , a list of collaborators and key personnel\, preproposal narrative\, and 
 supporting documents as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by i
 nvitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packa
 ges can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.\n \nPre-Application De
