Category Call for proposal
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the 2024 Glioblastoma Research Program (GBMRP). Several award programs are available:
  • The Hypothesis Development Award supports the exploration of highly innovative, untested, exploratory, high-risk/potentially high-gain concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods that address an important problem relevant to one or more of the FY24 GBMRP Hypothesis Development Award Focus Areas. All applications must specifically address Focus Areas listed in this document.
  • The Resource Development Award supports product-driven effort focused on the advancement of preclinical model systems (in vitro and in vivo) that need further development, characterization, validation, or standardization. Studies may include, but are not limited to, the development or characterization of animal models, preclinical autologous human immune models, organoids, or patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Proposals should include experiments that demonstrate the research tool or model improves preclinical biological relevance. Models recapitulating glioblastoma pathobiology, particularly as it relates to tumor recurrence, late-stage disease, tumor microenvironment and/or immunity component are strongly encouraged.

Funding:      
Hypothesis Development Award: $200,000 – $300,000
Resource Development Award: $500,000

Duration:     
Hypothesis Development Award: 2 years
Resource Development Award: 3 years
