DoD Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Convergence Science Research Award

archived

The PRARP Convergence Science Research Award (CSRA) mechanism was first offered in FY12. Since then, 148 CSRA applications have been received, and 29 have been recommended for funding.The intent of the FY16 PRARP CSRA is to support efforts to generate research resources, tools, or novel research efforts for researchers and/or practitioners in health sciences related to the PRARP’s mission (see Section I.A., Program Description). The research impact will benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. To this end, the PRARP has identified FY16 CSRA Overarching Challenges and Focus Areas by which the intent of this mechanism can be facilitated (see Section I.B., FY16 PRARP CSRA Overarching Challenges and Focus Areas). These should be carefully considered as part of the application process.The FY16 PRARP CSRA is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) from any field or discipline who seek to bring their expertise to address the PRARP’s mission (see Section I.A., Program Description). However, as part of the application, the PI should demonstrate that the study team has experience in both TBI and AD/ADRD research. Preliminary data, while not required, are encouraged. Preliminary data may come from the PI’s published work, pilot data, or from peer-reviewed literature.
