DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Vision Research
  Program (VRP) Focused Translational Team Science Award. This award will s
 upport a highly collaborative and translational team initiative that will 
 fundamentally advance the understanding and treatment of eye injury and/or
  visual dysfunction that result from a military-relevant traumatic event (
 e.g.\, blast\, blunt\, thermal\, chemical\, biological\, directed energy\,
  ionizing radiation).\n \nKey aspects of this award include:\n\n	Overarch
 ing Challenge: Team science is a collaborative effort that leverages the s
 trengths of investigators specializing in different fields to address an o
 verarching scientific challenge or question.\n	Research Projects: Applicat
 ions shall include at least three but no more than five distinct research 
 projects that together form a concerted and synergistic effort to address 
 the overarching challenge.\n	: The research strategy to address the overar
 ching challenge should include a detailed implementation plan.\n	Research 
 Team: The overall effort will be led by a Principal Investigator (PI) with
  demonstrated success in leading large collaborative research project(s). 
 The overall lead PI is required to devote a minimum of 20% effort to this 
 award. The project leader of each of the complementary and synergistic res
 earch projects must be an independent investigator with strong qualificati
 ons.\n\n \nFunding: Maximum USD $5’000’000\n \nDuration: 4 years\n
