Defense Medical Research and Development Program
(DMRDP)
The DMRDP expects to allot 97M of the FY10
appropriation to fund approximately 100
intramural and extramural Applied and Advanced
Technology Development Research Award
applications depending on the quality and number
of applications received. The Basic Research
Funding Opportunity (60M total for both intra
and extra mural efforts) is focused on basic
research, defined as research directed towards
attaining greater knowledge and understanding of
fundamental principles of science and medicine.
The DMRDP Basic Research Award is designed to
promote new ideas that are still in the early
stages of development and have the potential to
yield highly impactful data and new avenues of
investigation. Basic Research
Award Pre-Application  December 10,
2009 Invitation to submit full proposal By
January 15, 2010 Proposal Submission  February
17, 2010 The maximum period of performance for
this award mechanism is 3 years. Maximum
allowable funding for the entire period of
performance is 1,000,000 for direct costs. The
applicant may request the entire maximum direct
cost amount for a project that may require less
than the maximum period of performance.

2009 TBI and Psychological Health.

• The following research topics are recommended for
  consideration under this program
• Neuropsychiatric studies, biochemical
  mechanisms that underlie human emotional
  reactions
• to combat stress and resulting clinical
  disorders, metrics for mental health assessment
  and
• methods to evaluate and improve PTSD
  rehabilitation efforts
• Studies of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  including basic research on neural injury
  treatments,
• cell replacement and regrowth strategies,
  specific therapies to prevent and reverse spinal
• cord and other neuro-traumatic damage,
  pharmaceutical interventions to stimulate neural
• circuits, activity-based'' physical therapy,
  and extended rehabilitation focused on
• impairments in vision and cognitive
  functioning
• Clinical research of blast-related cell damage
  and the resulting effects on neurological
• response
• 3D models of IED blast waves to develop
  equipment to mitigate injury to service members
• A fully automated, self contained, disposable
  chip to diagnose TBI at the point of onset
• DA-EEG assessment and MRI quantization to allow
  an accurate assessment of TBI
• computational approaches to integrate global
  transcriptomics and proteomics information to
• identify the biological networks altered
  following TBI
• Studies of PTSD and/or TBI including basic
  research in neurorehabilitation, the integration
  of
• informatics, and advanced computational
  research to analyze brain tissue and activities,

CDMRP Funding Process

• Milestone 1 (Congressional Appropriation)
• Milestone 2 (Vision Setting)
• Each program's Integration Panel (IP),
  composed of renowned experts -- scientists and
• clinicians, as well as disease survivors,
  identify the Programmatic Priorities for the
  year.
• Milestone 3 (Release of Program Announcements)
• Milestone 4 (Proposal Receipt)
• Milestone 5 (Peer Review)
• Submitted proposals are peer reviewed by
  program, along with other proposals submitted
• in response to the same mechanism offered in
  the Program Announcements.
• Renowned scientists and clinicians are assigned
  to panels to review proposals according to
• their individual expertise.
• In addition, several disease survivors sit on
  each peer review panel.
• The process of Peer Review evaluates not only
  the science of each submission but also the
• proposed budget.
• Milestone 6 (Programmatic Review)
• Proposals undergo Programmatic Review by the IP
  with select additional scientists chosen
• for their expertise in the field.
• Proposals are evaluated in a comparison basis,
  against submissions in other specialty
• fields in order to identify proposals with the
  greatest programmatic relevance, those that
