DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Lung Cancer Res
 earch Program (LCRP) Awards. The LCRP Investigator Initiated Translational
  Research Award supports translational research that will develop promisin
 g ideas in lung cancer into clinical applications.  This mechanism is int
 ended to fund a broad range of translational studies\, including\, but not
  limited to\, the following:\n\n	Studies advancing/translating in vitro an
 d/or animal studies to applications with human samples/cohorts.\n	Late-sta
 ge preclinical work leading to/preparing for a clinical trial\, e.g.\, Inv
 estigational New Drug (IND) application submission.\n	Correlative studies 
 that are associated with an open/ongoing or completed clinical trial and p
 rojects that develop endpoints for clinical trials.\n\n\nIn addition\, all
  applications for LCRP funding must specifically address at least one of t
 he Areas of Emphasis as directed by Congress and have direct relevance to 
 military health. The FY20 LCRP Topic Areas are listed at the end of this a
 nnouncement.\n\nFunding:        max. $400’000\n\nDuration:    
   2 years\n\nEligibility: Applicants from international organizations or 
 institutions are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship restrict
 ions. PI applicants must be independent investigators at or above the leve
 l of Assistant Professor (or equivalent).\n\nHow to Apply: Pre-application
 s are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact in
 formation\, a preproposal narrative\, and a list of collaborators and key 
 personnel as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invitation) 
 will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages can be 
 downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.\n\nPre-Application Deadline: 06-Ma
 y-2020\, 5:00 p.m. EST\nFull Application Deadline: 29-Jul-2020\, 11:59 p.m
 . EST\n\nGrants.gov Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-20-LCRP-IITRA\n\nFu

 search page on Grants.gov and search for the Opportunity Number W81XWH-20-
 LCRP-IITRA\n	For questions about the eBRAP or Grants.gov platforms\, conta

 ive strategies for prevention of the occurrence of lung cancer.\n	Identify
  innovative strategies for the screening and early detection of lung cance
 r.\n	Understand the molecular mechanisms of initiation and progression to 
 lung cancer.\n	Understand contributors to lung cancer development other th
 an tobacco.\n	DoD FY20 Lung Cancer Investigator-Initiated Translational Re
 search Award 4\n	Identify innovative strategies for the treatment of lung 
 cancer.\n	Identify innovative strategies for the prevention of recurrence 
 of or metastases from lung cancer.\n	Develop or optimize prognostic or pre
 dictive markers to assist with therapeutic decision-making.\n	Understand m
 echanisms of resistance to treatment (primary and secondary).\n	Identify i
 nnovative strategies for lung cancer care delivery (disparities/clinical m
 anagement/ surveillance/symptom management).\n
