Neurofibromatosis Research Program's (NFRP) Investigator-Initiated Research Award: Program History. The Investigator-Initiated Research Award is part of the DOD NFRP, which was established in FY96 to promote research directed toward decreasing the impact of neurofibromatosis. Appropriations for the NFRP since FY96 total $155.3 million. The FY05 NFRP appropriation is $25M. Of this, approximately $3.0M will be available for Investigator-Initiated Research Awards under this announcement. This program announcement is being released prior to the Congressional appropriation of FY06 funds. Should FY06 appropriations become available, these funds could be used to supplement the $3.0M currently available. However, a new FY06 Investigator-Initiated Research Award will not be offered. Program Objectives. The overall goal of the FY05 NFRP is to develop effective therapies for NF1, NF2, and Schwannomatosis. Within this context, support for the training of NF researchers, the encouragement of established scientists in the field, and the attraction of new scientific expertise from other fields are essential to the NF community. Proposals to the NFRP are sought across all areas of laboratory, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research including all disciplines within the basic, clinical, psychosocial, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental sciences, nursing, occupational health, alternative therapies, public health and policy, and economics. Additionally, proposals that address the needs of minority, low-income, rural, and other underrepresented and/or medically underserved populations may be submitted from any eligible institutional source. Proposals are encouraged from investigators working at Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI).
