About this opportunity

Applications to the FY12 Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease ResearchProgram (MRPRA) are being solicited for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs,Defense Health Program Medical Research and Development Office by the UnitedStates Army Medical Research Acquisitions Activity (USAMRAA). The Telemedicine andAdvanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) is administering the application process, andUSAMRAA is issuing this Program Announcement and will be negotiating all resulting awards.Military personnel who suffer severe or moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) face anincreased risk for developing several long-term health problems. These conditions includeAlzheimer's-like symptoms similar to thoseof other neurological diseases. Even mild TBI may be associated with some of these adverseconsequences. The mission of the MRPRA is to build an integrated program devoted towards understanding the association between TBI and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and reducing the burden on those affected especially in the military community. Therefore, the primary objective of the FY12 MRPRA is to facilitate the development of research tools and clinical outcomes that will permit the detection and diagnosis of neurological change found with TBI-associated AD. A second, but equally important, objective for the FY12 MRPRA is the development of technologies intended to directly benefit individuals suffering from the symptoms of neurological impairment associated with either TBI or AD. Research falling under this second objective is intended to either increase or maintain the quality of life of those affected by the symptoms of either TBI or AD. The results of the research funded through this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity are intended to generate research validate research for professionals and practitioners in health sciences related to the MRPRA’s mission as described above. The research impact is intended to benefit the military community, while meeting a public purpose for the benefit of the civilian community. The Convergence Science Research Award (CSRA) therefore seeks and encourages proposals that bring together multidisciplinary teams of investigators to address the MRPRA’s mission and objectives.
