New grant opportunity on Grants.gov: DoD Lung Cancer, Concept Award

Funding Opportunity ID: 315459 Opportunity Number: W81XWH-19-LCRP-CA Opportunity Title: DoD Lung Cancer, Concept Award Opportunity Category: Discretionary Opportunity Category Explanation: Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement Grant Category of Funding Activity: Science and Technology and other Research and Development Category Explanation: CFDA Number(s): 12.420 Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" Additional Information on Eligibility: Agency Code: DOD-AMRAA Agency Name: Department of Defense Dept. of the Army -- USAMRAA Posted Date: May 01, 2019 Close Date: Aug 07, 2019 Last Updated Date: May 01, 2019 Award Ceiling: $0 Award Floor: $0 Estimated Total Program Funding: $2,200,000 Expected Number of Awards: 14 Description: The FY19 LCRP Concept Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to lung cancer. The Concept Award is not intended to support an incremental progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations. This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Applications must describe how the new idea will enhance the existing knowledge of lung cancer or develop an innovative and novel course of investigation. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at Department of Defense (DoD) military treatment facilities and laboratories, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research laboratories are strongly encouraged. Research completed through a Concept Award may generate sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to prepare an application for future research. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Concept Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data. Relevance to Military Health: The LCRP seeks to support research that is relevant to the healthcare needs of military Service members, Veterans, and their families. Relevance to military health will be considered in determining relevance to the mission of the DHP and FY19 LCRP during programmatic review. Investigators are strongly encouraged to consider the following characteristics as examples of how a project may demonstrate relevance to military health: Use of military or Veteran populations, biospecimens, data/databases, or programs in the proposed research Collaboration with DoD or VA investigators Involvement of military consultants (Army, Air Force) or specialty leaders (Navy, Marine Corps) to the Surgeons General in a relevant specialty area Description of how the knowledge, information, products, or technologies gained from the proposed research could be implemented in a dual-use capacity to address a military need that also benefits the civilian population Explanation of how the project addresses an aspect of lung cancer that has direct relevance to military Service members, Veterans, or other Military Health System beneficiaries, including environmental exposures other than tobacco Version: 1
