CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Autism Research
  Program (ARP) for 2019. The Idea Development Award supports the developme
 nt of innovative\, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to criti
 cal discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress in imp
 roving outcomes for individuals with ASD. This award mechanism is designed
  to support innovative ideas with the potential to yield impactful data an
 d new avenues of investigation.\n \nProjects are required to involve huma
 n subjects. Projects that are strictly animal research aimed at developing
  or refining new technology and research to establish the efficacy/effecti
 veness of diagnostic agents are not allowed under this funding opportunity
 . The proposed studies should include early-phase\, proof-of-principle stu
 dies using human subjects. The proposed studies may be interventional\, in
 cluding Phase 0 clinical trials or single-group intervention studies\, and
  may involve some retrospective data analysis\; however\, purely retrospec
 tive or database-related research is not allowed.\n \nApplications are st
 rongly encouraged to address one of the ARP  Areas of Interest. These are
  listed at the end of this announcement.\n \nFunding: Maximum USD $ 500
 ’000\n \nDuration: 3 years\n \nEligibility: Applicants from internatio
 nal organizations or institutions are eligible to apply\, and there are no
  citizenship restrictions. Investigators at the level of Assistant Profess
 or or above are eligible to submit applications.\n \nHow to Apply: Pre-ap
 plications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain c
 ontact information\, a list of collaborators and key personnel\, a preprop
 osal narrative\, and supporting documents as suggested on the platform. Fu
 ll applications (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. F
 ull application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.\n

  of novel therapeutics using valid preclinical models\n	Environmental risk
  factors\n	Mechanisms of heterogeneous clinical expression of ASD\n	Mechan
 isms underlying conditions co-occurring with ASD (e.g.\, sleep disturbance
 s\, gastrointestinal issues\, inflammation\, aggression\, depression\, anx
 iety\, attention deficit\, seizures\, eating disorders\, pharmacologic sid
 e effects\, gender dysphoria)\n	Factors promoting success in key transitio
 ns to independence for individuals living with ASD\n	Factors impacting qua
 lity of life during geographic relocation\, such as military permanent cha
 nge of station\n	Development of healthcare provider-focused training or to
 ols to improve healthcare delivery for individuals with ASD across the lif
 e span and the continuum of care (i.e.\, primary care\, urgent/emergent ca
 re\, and disaster relief)\n	Improve diagnosis and access to services acros
 s the life span\n	Cultural\, socioeconomic\, and gender factors in diagnos
 is\, treatment efficacy\, delivery\, and access to services\n	Long-term tr
 eatment outcomes from previous clinical trials for ASD core symptoms or to
  alleviate co-occurring conditions\n
