DoD Reconstructive Transplant Research Program

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance  will not exceed $1M for Single PI applications and $1.5M for applications submitted under the Multiple PI Option.
Purpose:  The FY23 RTRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award is intended to support studies that have the potential to make an important contribution to reconstructive transplant research, patient care, and/or quality of life. Though the RTRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award mechanism supports groundbreaking research, all projects must demonstrate solid scientific rationale with military-relevant utility. 
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 (Initiating or Partnering PI for Multiple PI Option).
Timeline:

Please include your RPM’s name as business official in the pre-application.
Institutional representative (RPM/RMG or CGO/OSR) Deadline:  October 4, 2023

Purpose:  The FY23 RTRP Idea Discovery Award is intended to support innovative, untested, high-risk/ potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods relevant to reconstructive transplant. The outcome of research supported by this award should be the generation of robust data that can be used as a foundation for new avenues of scientific investigation. 
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 - Postdocs are not eligible: even though the guidelines indicate "postdoctoral fellow (or equivalent) are eligible", 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. Since 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).
