Gulf War Illness, Investigator-Initiated Focused Research Award: The FY18 GWIRP IIFRA supports research to promote new ideas or continued development of applied research in GWI that is aimed at diagnosis or therapeutic advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for Veterans with GWI even if a clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. All applications must focus on Veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War affected by GWI. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly articulate the project's potential impact on GWI. New in FY18! Biorepository Contribution Option: In FY17, the GWIRP awarded infrastructure support for a GWI Biorepository. The “Boston Biorepository, Recruitment, and Integrative Network (BBRAIN) for GWI” has now been established for the retention and distribution of biospecimens and/or data related to GWI research. Applicants to the FY18 GWIRP are encouraged to contribute biospecimens and data to this repository network. The FY18 GWIRP IIFRA offers a nested Biorepository Contribution Option with higher levels of funding for qualified applications as described in Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions. For the application to qualify for a higher level of funding, the PI must submit a Biorepository Contribution Statement (see Attachment 10) providing a detailed accounting of proposed costs and a commitment to work with protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed by the BBRAIN for quality assurance purposes. For additional details about BBRAIN, refer to the section below titled Access to Data and/or Previously Collected Biospecimens from Veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War. The FY18 GWIRP IIFRA supports projects at different stages of development. PIs should apply under one of two different Tiers. It is the responsibility of the applicant to select the Tier that is most appropriate for the research proposed. This choice should be based on the scope of the research proposed and not the funding level.
