Description
The
PRMRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) mechanism was first offered
in FY99. Since then, 1850 Investigator-Initiated Research Award proposals have
been received, and 219 have been recommended for funding. This award supports
research that makes an important contribution to research and/or patient care
in one of the FY08 PRMRP topic areas. All proposals must be responsive to the
health care needs of the Armed Forces and Family members, the U.S. Veteran
population, and the general public. Research projects that support the
development or validation of evidence-based clinical policy or guidelines are
encouraged. Proposals must include preliminary data relevant to the topic area
and the proposed project. This award may not be used to conduct clinical
trials. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a clinical trial
should apply to the FY08 PRMRP Clinical Trial Award mechanism. See the Program
Announcement for the full Funding Opportunity Description.
