| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Epilepsy Research Program (ERP) Awards. The ERP Quality of Life Research Award is intended to support research that improves the quality of life and care for individuals living with the symptoms of post-traumatic epilepsy, as related to the ERP’s mission. Individuals living with PTE include not only those with symptoms of PTE, but their families and/or care providers as well. The proposed work should innovatively challenge existing research paradigms or exhibit high levels of creativity. This can include research in symptom reduction (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, function, mood), resiliency factors, increasing or maintaining independence, and support for families and care providers. Applications must be both innovation- and impact-based.
This call offers two levels of funding: one geared toward postdocs and non-faculty-level researchers (level I), and another that is open to PIs at the assistant professor level or above (level II).
Funding: Level I – max. $300’000
Level II – max $500’000
Duration: 3 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. PI applicants must be independent investigators at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent).
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, 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.
Pre-Application Deadline: 22-June-2020, 5:00 p.m. EST
Full Application Deadline: 21-July-2020, 11:59 p.m. EST
