Event details
Date | 20.09.2018 |
Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Research Program (PRARP) for 2018. The intent of the PRARP Research Partnership Award is to create an avenue for collaborative research partnerships between investigators to address a research problem or question in a manner that would be unachievable through separate efforts. The success of the project must be supported by the unique skills and contributions of each partner.
In addition to supporting basic research, FY18 PRARP RPA applications proposing preclinical research are acceptable. Preliminary data to support the feasibility of the research hypothesis (or hypotheses) and research approaches are required. The research impact for the FY18 PRARP RPA is expected to benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities.
Applications must address one or more of the FY18 PRARP RPA Overarching Challenges. In addition, applications should address at least one of the following FY18 PRARP RPA Focus Areas. These Challenges and Focus Areas are listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Maximum USD $ 1’300’000
Duration: 3 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Investigators at the level of Assistant Professor or higher are eligible to submit applications. A minimum of two investigators (i.e., partners) must jointly design a single research project; one will submit as PI and the others as Co-PIs. Multi-institutional research is encouraged but not required.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a letter of intent, 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: 20 September 2018, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)
Full Application Deadline: 04 October 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 05 Oct, CET)
