| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Epilepsy Research Program (ERP) for 2018. The intent of the ERP Longitudinal Risk Factors Award is to support a large-scale, prospective, longitudinal epidemiological research study that is relevant to the characterization of post-traumatic epilepsy.
Due to the intent of this mechanism, preliminary data are required. In addition, expedited access to an already identified, suitable study cohort that will support the proposed hypothesis or hypotheses is required.
The research impact for the FY18 ERP LRFA is expected to benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. To this end, applications must address at least one of the FY18 ERP IDA Focus Areas. The Focus Areas are listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Maximum USD $ 2’500’000
Duration: 4 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Investigators at or above the level of Assistant Professor are eligible to apply.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a 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.
