CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Neurotoxin Expo
 sure Treatment Parkinson’s Program (NETP) Awards. The NETP Investigator 
 Initiated Research Award supports highly rigorous\, multidisciplinary\, hi
 gh-impact research projects that have the potential to make an important c
 ontribution to neurotoxin exposure and treatment-related Parkinson’s res
 earch. This award mechanism supports the full spectrum of research from ba
 sic science through clinical research. Preliminary data to support feasibi
 lity is encouraged but not required. The NETP Program seeks applications f
 rom investigators working in a broad spectrum of disciplines including\, b
 ut not limited to\, basic science\, engineering\, bioinformatics\, populat
 ion science\, translational research\, and clinical research.\n\nTo meet t
 he intent of the award mechanism\, applications must address one of the FY
 20 NETP Focus Areas\, which are listed at the end of this announcement.\n\
 nFunding:        max. $1’200’000\n\nDuration:      3 years\n
 \nEligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions
  are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Invest
 igators at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) are e
 ligible to be named as the Principal Investigator (PI) on the application.
  The NETP Program IIRA requires that the PI dedicate at least 15% of their
  full-time professional effort to this award during the award period.\n\nH
 ow to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. Th
 ey should contain contact information\, a letter of intent\, and a list of
  collaborators and key personnel as suggested on the platform. Full applic
 ations (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full appli
 cation packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.\n\nPre-Appl
 ication Deadline: 18-Aug-2020\, 5:00 p.m. EST\nFull Application Deadline: 
 16-Sep-2020\, 11:59 p.m. EST\n\nGrants.gov Funding Opportunity Number: W81
 XWH-20-NETP-IIRA\n\nFurther information\n\n	To see the program announcemen

 ty Number W81XWH-20-NETP-IIRA\n	For questions about the eBRAP or Grants.go

 n	Quantifiable gene - environment interactions and the risk for or progres
 sion of Parkinson’s disease following neurotoxin exposure.\n	Basic biolo
 gy of non-motor symptoms that could lead to the development of new treatme
 nts for Parkinson’s disease following neurotoxin exposure.\n	System-leve
 l mechanism of dopamine refractory motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease
 \, including postural instability\, freezing of gait\, and treatment-assoc
 iated dystonia\, that could lead to development of new treatments in patie
 nts with neurotoxin exposure.\n	Clinical and research application of digit
 al health technology leading to development of new treatments for Parkinso
 n’s disease in those individuals exposed to neurotoxins.\n
