Event details
| Date | 03.09.2019 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Restoring Warfighters with Neuromusculoskeletal Injuries Research Award (RESTORE). The intent of the RESTORE mechanism is to provide support for research of exceptional scientific merit that proposes solutions for optimal management, treatment, and restoration following Service-related neuromusculoskeletal injury. Research will accelerate progress toward returning Warfighters to combat readiness following neuromusculoskeletal injury and will ultimately benefit all patients with such injuries.
RESTORE is structured with three different Research Levels:
To meet the intent of the award mechanism, applications RESTORE must address research in program’s Focus Areas, which are listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Research level 1: Maximum USD $ 500’000
Research level 2: Maximum USD $ 1’500’000
Research level 3: Maximum USD $ 3’000’000
Duration: Research level 1: 3 years
Research level 2: 4 years
Research level 3: 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 (or equivalent) may be named by the organization as the PI on the application.
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: 03 September 2019, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)
Full Application Deadline: 16 December 2019, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 17 Dec, CET)
Grants.gov Funding Opportunity Number: 81XWH-19-DMRDP-CRMRP-RESTORE

RESTORE Focus Areas
RESTORE is structured with three different Research Levels:
- Research Level 1—New ideas that represent innovative approaches and have the potential to make an important contribution within the RESTORE Focus Areas (see below)
- Research Level 2—Advancement of laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or clinical knowledge into clinical application and acceleration toward a clinical solution
- Research Level 3—Clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on Warfighters who have incurred neuromusculoskeletal injuries
To meet the intent of the award mechanism, applications RESTORE must address research in program’s Focus Areas, which are listed at the end of this announcement.

RESTORE Focus Areas
- Solutions that accurately diagnose neuromusculoskeletal injuries in training and operational environments to optimize management and treatment decisions
- Solutions to accelerate recovery and restore Warfighter performance in training and operational environments
- Objective support tools to enable providers to assess function and performance throughout treatment and predict long-term outcomes
- Pain management strategies following acute and/or chronic neuromusculoskeletal injury that are fast-acting, long-lasting, and free of adverse side effects
- Optimization of Warfighter performance following limb trauma or loss. Examples include, but are not limited to, prosthetics and orthotic solutions (e.g., intuitive control and sensation, interface, interoperability, prescription, and training), as well as regenerative rehabilitation solutions addressing peripheral nerves, skeletal muscle, and/or bone. Technology development is allowed. Regenerative studies without a rehabilitative component are not responsive to this funding opportunity
