DOD Peer Reviewed Medical Advanced Technology/Therapeutic Development Award: The PRMRP Advanced Technology/Therapeutic Development Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY08. The intent of this award is to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications. The products to be developed may be pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologicals), devices, or clinical guidance. The Principal Investigator (PI) must provide a transition plan (including funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to clinical trials and/or delivery to the military or civilian market after the completion of the PRMRP award. All proposals must be responsive to the health care needs of the Armed Forces and family members, the U.S. Veteran population, and the general public. Examples of the types of research that may be supported include, but are not limited to: . Collection and analysis of data for developing and validating clinical guidance . Testing new therapeutic modalities (agents, delivery systems, chemical modification of lead compounds) using established or validated novel preclinical systems . Designing and implementing full-scale, pilot Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production of therapeutics and/or delivery systems for use in advanced preclinical and initial clinical trials . Developing pharmacologic agents through adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) phase . Developing pharmacologic agents to Investigational New Drug (IND) stage for initiation of Phase I clinical trials . Developing prototype devices for diagnosis or treatment to Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) stage for initiation of Phase I clinical trials . Optimizing diagnostic or treatment devices for field deployment Proposals must include preliminary data relevant to the topic area and the proposed project. This award may not be used to conduct clinical trials. PIs seeking funding for a clinical trial should apply to the Clinical Trial Award mechanism.
