Military Infectious Diseases Basic Reserach Award: This Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is focused on basic research, which is defined as formulating concepts and expanding understanding of fundamental principles and observable facts of science and medicine. The DMRDP FY11 Military Infectious Diseases Basic Research Award (MID-BRA) is designed to promote new ideas that have the potential to yield high-impact data and to inform new avenues of investigation. This mechanism will support systematic research and discovery aimed at identifying, characterizing, and/or clarifying basic biological mechanisms related to microbes responsible for combat-related wound infections. This Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity will not support applied research studies, that is, studies addressing a particular problem or medical treatment approach. A separate Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity soliciting proposals for applied research studies relating to microbes and wound infections (FY11 Military Infectious Diseases Applied Research Award, MID-ARA) will be released on Grants.gov.
