DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program Investigator-Initiated Research Award

archived

This award is intended to support studies that make an important contribution to research and/or patient care in at least one of the congressionally directed FY09 PRMRP topic areas and are responsive to the health care needs of the Armed Forces, their family members, and/or the U.S. Veteran population. All applications must specifically and clearly address the military relevance of the proposed research. Collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged. Research projects may focus on any phase of research from basic laboratory research through translational research including preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients and anecdotal data.
