Department of Defense Peer-Reviewed Alzheimer’s Convergence Science Research Award

The intent of the FY19 PRARP CSRA is to support innovative
or novel efforts to generate research resources, tools, or research efforts for
researchers and/or practitioners in health sciences related to the PRARP’s
mission (see Section II.A, Program Description). The proposed work should
innovatively challenge existing research paradigms or exhibit high levels of
creativity within the contexts of the PRARP’s mission and vision. The research
innovations for the FY19 PRARP CSRA are expected to benefit the military,
Veteran, and civilian communities. FY19 PRARP CSRA applications should be
Innovation- and Impact-based.

The FY19 PRARP CSRA offers two levels of funding. Funding
Level I is intended to support early-career investigators within 3 years of
their first independent faculty position, from any field or discipline. Note
that Funding Level I applications will be required to include an Eligibility
Statement (Attachment 6) in order to verify the eligibility of the individual
named as the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Funding Level
II is intended to support PIs at or above the level of assistant professor (or
equivalent) from any field or discipline. Study teams are expected to
demonstrate relevant expertise in both TBI and AD/ADRD.
