The FY15/16 Vision Research Program (VRP) Clinical Trial Award (CTA) supports research with the potential to have a major impact on the treatment or management of visual injury and/or dysfunction. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and should not be used for preclinical research studies. To meet the intent of the FY15/16 VRP CTA, the research proposals must address one or more of the Capability Gaps listed below: Inadequate mitigation and treatment of damage to ocular structures and the visual system consequent to military-relevant injuries and diseases incident to military service. Research into ocular damage that occurs in the general public will also be considered, as there may be similarities and related treatments in the two populations. This includes but is not limited to: inadequate treatments and technologies for injuries and diseases to ocular structures and visual systems to include, optic neuropathy, retinal injury, lid and adnexal injuries and ocular polytrauma; inadequate strategies and techniques for controlling scarring and/or pathological healing response in traumatized ocular tissues. Inadequate vision restoration and regeneration: inability to restore form and function of lids, adnexal, orbital and ocular tissues (optic nerve, cornea, retina, and uvea) following injury; inadequate vision surrogates and appropriate rehabilitation. Lack of knowledge, capabilities, and equipment for early responders to diagnose and mitigate military-relevant eye injuries and diseases in austere or remote environments: lack of methods and/or devices to assist in the location of entrance wounds and rupture sites in traumatic eye injuries; lack of portable diagnostic tools and technologies for field use to detect ocular injuries and diseases. The five Focus Areas are listed below and have been developed to address the Capability Gaps listed above. All applications are highly encouraged to address at least one of the following Focus Areas: Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to evaluate safety and/or efficacy of treatments or technologies to reduce/control scarring and/or pathological healing response(s) after military-relevant ocular/visual system injury; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to evaluate safety and/or efficacy of treatments or technologies restoring form and function to: (1) orbit and ocular tissues (optic nerve, retina, and uvea), (2) eyelid, and/or (3) adnexal structures; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to demonstrate feasibility and safety and/or efficacy of vision surrogates for those with low or no vision post-injury and appropriate rehabilitation; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for evaluation of technologies to identify the location of entrance wounds and rupture sites in traumatic eye injuries; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for evaluation of technologies to detect and quantify white blood cells, red blood cells and proteins in both the aqueous and vitreous humor.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP) provides resources for advances in biotechnology research administered by the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), located at Fort Detrick, Maryland. TATRC facilitates interdisciplinary research partnerships led by industry (that may also include academia and government) that advance the development of emerging technologies and improvements in health care. With this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is seeking to fund biotechnology research that culminates in outcomes and products that may qualify as advanced development activities within the Department of Defense (DoD). The results of this research will support medical protection and treatment requirements and needs by leveraging the skills and talents of US based businesses and teaching-research academic institutions. The intent is to create enduring initiatives and collaborations that will develop and support sustained business and enterprise solutions. The results of the research funded through this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity are expected to increase the body of knowledge available to professionals and practitioners in health, medical science and related fields. The research impact is expected to benefit both civilian and military communities, particularly as it relates to the topic area of prehospital use of plasma for traumatic hemorrhage. Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-11-PUPTH-IIA. Assistance Listing: 12.420. Funding Instrument: CA,G. Category: ST. Award Amount: Up to $8M per award.
The FY13 PH/TBI Research Program TBI Endpoints Development (TED) Award mechanism supports the establishment of a collaborative, multidisciplinary research team to advance endpoints for use in trials involving diagnosis and treatment of mild to moderate TBI (mTBI to modTBI). While a number of potentially useful endpoints for mTBI to modTBI diagnostics and therapeutics exist, a majority of them have not been validated and qualified for use as a reference measure of diagnostic or therapeutic effectiveness. The TED research team will address a critical need within the TBI research community by developing clinically relevant endpoints that can support regulatory approvals and be applicable for use in research tests and clinical trials. The goal is to improve diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation strategies for mTBI to mod TBI. This award is not intended to support the direct development of new TBI therapeutic or diagnostic agents and/or devices. Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-13-PHTBI-TED. Assistance Listing: 12.420. Funding Instrument: CA. Category: ST. Award Amount: $17M total program funding.
The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Funding Levels 3 and 4 are available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-14-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH2_FL34). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: Funding Level 1: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development. Research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation. Proof of concept. No preliminary data required. Funding Level 2: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Demonstration of efficacy in in vivo models, as applicable. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions.
