About this opportunity

The FY22 PCRP Exploration – Hypothesis Development Award supports the exploration of highly high-gain , and/or methods that address an important problem relevant to one or more of the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenges. This award is designed to provide investigators the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations that may reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Results of studies conducted through this award may provide the scientific premise upon which a new hypothesis can be based or initial proof-of-principle of an innovative hypothesis, laying the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. Presentation of preliminary data is inconsistent with the intent of this award mechanism and is therefore strongly discouraged. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed work must be described.Reviewers will be blinded to the identity of the Principal Investigator (PI), collaborator(s), and their organization(s). Refer to Section II.D.2.b.i, Full Application Guidelines, for more information.Because these awards are designed for preliminary investigations, projects involving human subjects or specimens will not be supported unless they are exempt from Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval or eligible for expedited review. Investigators must review their institutional requirements and guidelines for filing with the IRB for exempt or expedited status. Information can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 32, Section 219.104(d) (32 CFR 219.104[d]) for exempt status or 21 CFR 56.110 for expedited status. Applications proposing studies involving human subjects or specimens that do not qualify for exempt or expedited status will be administratively withdrawn.Clinical research is not allowed. Clinical research is defined as: (1) Patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues that cannot be linked to a living individual. Patient-oriented research includes: (a) mechanisms of human disease, (b) therapeutic interventions, (c) clinical trials, and (d) development of new technologies. (2) Epidemiologic and behavioral studies. (3) Outcomes research and health services research. Note: Studies that meet the requirements for IRB Exemption 4 are not considered CDMRP-defined clinical research. IRB Exemption 4 refers to research involving the collection or study of existing de-identified specimens or data, if these sources are publicly available.Clinical trials are not allowed. A clinical trial is defined as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include a placebo or another control) to evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or behavioral health-related outcomes.The types of awards made under the program announcement will be assistance agreements. An assistance agreement is appropriate when the federal government transfers a “thing of value” to a “state, local government,” or “other recipient” to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by a law of the United States instead of acquiring property or service for the direct benefit and use of the government. An assistance agreement can take the form of a grant or cooperative agreement. The level of involvement on the part of the Department of Defense (DOD) during project performance is the key factor in determining whether to award a grant or cooperative agreement. If “no substantial involvement” on the part of the funding agency is anticipated, a grant award will be made (31 USC 6304).
