DoD Lung Cancer Idea Development Award: The LCRP Idea Development Award mechanism was first offered in FY12. Since then, 44 Idea Development Award applications have been received, and 4 have been recommended for funding. The Idea Development Award promotes new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield impactful data and new avenues of investigation. This award supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress toward eradicating deaths from lung cancer. Applications should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, Military labs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers and research laboratories are encouraged. Preliminary data to support the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approaches are required; however, these data do not necessarily need to be in lung cancer.
