DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Neurofibromatos
 is Research Program (NFRP) for 2019. The Exploration-Hypothesis Developmen
 t Award supports the initial exploration of innovative\, high-risk\, high-
 gain\, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in NF research. Studies sup
 ported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the groundwork for futu
 re avenues of scientific investigation.\n \nAreas of Emphasis: The FY19 N
 FRP strongly encourages research applications that specifically address th
 e critical needs of the NF community in one or more of the following Areas
  of Emphasis:\n\n	Health services research\n	Heterogeneity of NF-related t
 umors\n	Non-tumor manifestations\n	Novel disease and treatment response ma
 rkers using genomics\, epigenetics\, systems biology\, metabolomics\, or s
 imilar approaches\n	Nutritional\, environmental\, and other modifiers of N
 F\n	Preclinical efficacy studies\n	Target identification\, drug discovery\
 n	Targeted immunotherapies\n\n \nFunding: Maximum USD $ 100’000\n \nDu
 ration: 2 years\n \nEligibility: Applicants from international organizati
 ons or institutions are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship r
