[ U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Investigator-Initiated Research Award | Research Funding ]
Event details
| Date | 29.08.2018 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Program (DMDRP) for 2018. The DMDRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award supports translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in Duchenne research into clinical applications. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic science and clinical observations with the specific goal of developing new therapies. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move a concept or observation forward into clinical application; however, the research plan should involve a reciprocal flow of ideas and information between basic and clinical science.
The proposed research must address at least one of the FY18 DMDRP Focus Areas. The Focus Areas are listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Maximum USD $ 600’000
Duration: 3 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Investigators at the level Assistant Professor or higher are eligible to submit applications.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, preproposal narrative, and supporting documents 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: 29 August 2018, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)
Full Application Deadline: 05 December 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 06 Dec, CET)
