DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program

DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program 
Discovery Award
Amount of funding: Direct Costs will not exceed $200,000.
Purpose:  The intent of the PRMRP Discovery Award is to support innovative, non-incremental, highrisk/potentially high-reward research that will provide new insights, paradigms, technologies, or applications. Studies supported by this award are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a wellformulated, testable hypothesis based on a sound scientific rationale and study design. 
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI.
Stanford eligibility clarification - Fellows are not eligible: even though the guidelines indicate "postdoctoral fellow or clinical fellow" may serve as PI, the application and guidelines do not require to a mentor. Therefore, this considered a research grant that the Stanford PIship policy only permits faculty to apply. Because it is not mentored career development award, Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic Staff-Research (i.e., research associates), Postdocs, and Clinical fellows are not eligible (they may not submit career development PI waivers).

DoD Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program
Focused Program Award
Amount of funding: Direct Costs will not exceed $7,200,000.
Purpose:  The PRMRP Focused Program Award is intended to optimize research and accelerate solutions to a critical question related to at least one of the Congressionally directed FY21 PRMRP Topic Areas through a synergistic, multidisciplinary research program. Focused Program Award applications must describe a unifying, overarching challenge that will be addressed by a set of research projects. The overarching challenge must be relevant to a critical problem or question in the field of research and/or patient care in at least one of the FY21 PRMRP Topic Areas. 
Lead PI Eligibility: Stanford Full Professor with PI eligibility. The PI is required to devote a minimum of 20% effort to this award. 
Project Leader Eligibility: must be at or above the level of Assistant Professor with PI eligibility or a CE Assistant Professor (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent)
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to be independent positions.

Investigator-Initiated Research Award
Amount of funding: Direct Costs will not exceed $1,600,000. Direct Costs with the Partnering PI Option will not exceed $2,000,000.
Purpose:  The PRMRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award is intended to support studies that will make an important contribution toward research and/or patient care for a disease or condition related to at least one of the FY21 PRMRP Topic Areas.The rationale for a research idea may be derived from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Applications must include relevant data that support the rationale for the proposed study. These data may be unpublished or from the published literature.
PI Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI or Partnering PI.
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to be independent positions.

Technology/Therapeutic Development Award
Amount of funding:  Funding Level 1 Direct Costs will not exceed $2,000,000. Funding Level 2 Direct Costs will not exceed $4,000,000. 
Purpose:  The PRMRP Technology/Therapeutic Development Award is a product-driven award mechanism intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications, including prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, or quality of life, in at least one of the Congressionally directed FY21 PRMRP Topic Areas. Products in development should be responsive to the healthcare needs of military Service Members, Veterans, and/or beneficiaries.
Eligibility: Independent investigatorsFaculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI. 
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Postdoctoral Fellows, Clinical Fellows, Academic staff-researchers (i.e., research associates) are not eligible because Stanford does not consider them to be independent or faculty-level positions.

Clinical Trial Award
Amount of funding: Direct Costs of the Planning Phase will not exceed $500,000.
Purpose:  The PRMRP Clinical Trial Award supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on a disease or condition addressed in at least one of the Congressionally directed FY21 PRMRP Topic Areas. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proofof-concept trials (e.g., pilot, first in human, Phase 0), to demonstrate feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials, through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations.
