Department of Defense Fiscal Year 2004 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) Concept Award (CA): The intent of the Concept Award is to fund the exploration of an initial concept or theory that could give rise to a testable hypothesis. These awards provide investigators with the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations; it is anticipated that research completed through a Concept Award may provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the investigator to prepare a hypothesis-based proposal for future research. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. Proposals must describe how the new concept or theory will enhance existing knowledge of tuberous sclerosis. Concepts from complementary areas of science such as chemistry, biophysics, mathematics, engineering, etc., are encouraged as are research proposals involving consumer-scientist collaborations. Because these awards are designed for preliminary investigations, projects involving human subjects or human anatomical substances will not be supported through this mechanism unless they are exempt under 32 CFR 219.101(b)(4). Studies that do not qualify for exempt status will be administratively withdrawn and will not be funded.
