DoD Peer Reviewed Cancer, Idea Award with Special Focus: The FY18 PRCRP Idea Award with Special Focus supports innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods in cancer research that are relevant to active duty Service members, Veterans, other military beneficiaries, and the American public. The “Special Focus” of this award mechanism is on exposures, conditions, or circumstances that are unique to the military, disproportionately represented in a military beneficiary population, or may affect mission readiness. Cancers or circumstances with cancer risk that may affect military families are of special importance to the care and well-being of the military for total mission readiness. The advancement of knowledge in cancer research, patient care, and/or treatment options in the Military Health System (MHS) is critical to active duty Service members, Veterans, other military beneficiaries, and the American public. Military relevance should be articulated with respect to the overall MHS, the FY18 PRCRP Military Relevance Focus Areas in Section II.A.2, and the mission of the DHP and the FY18 PRCRP. For more information, review the following websites: PRCRP (http://cdmrp.army.mil/prcrp/default); PRCRP Report to Congress (http://cdmrp.army.mil/prcrp/reports/reports); Military Health System (http://www.health.mil); and VA (http://www.va.gov/). The Idea Award with Special Focus is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. The proposed research should be innovative. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Incremental advances, the next logical step, or switching a model system from one cancer to another cancer is not considered innovative. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. Inclusion of preliminary data is not required. This award is not intended to support ongoing research in the applicant's laboratory; therefore, inclusion of preliminary data other than serendipitous findings is not consistent with the exploratory nature of this award. The outcome of research supported by this award should be the generation of robust preliminary data that can be used as a foundation for future research projects to understand the mechanisms of initiation or progression of cancer, the quality of life during and following cancer treatment, etc. The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the American public. The anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY18 PRCRP Idea Award with Special Focus will not exceed $400,000. Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information.
