The Department of Defense is offering the FY13 Convergence Science Research Award to address the increased risk of Alzheimer’s-like conditions in military personnel suffering from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs). This grant is for conducting research to understand and mitigate long-term health problems such as dementia, aggression, and memory loss, which are common post-TBI. The funding aims to generate vital research resources, tools, or validate existing research for health science professionals within the Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease Research Program. Applicants are strongly encouraged to explore genetic, neuropsychological, or proteomic susceptibility factors related to TBI and subsequent Alzheimer’s Disease. The research impact seeks to benefit the military community while also serving a broader public purpose for civilians.

| Description: | Military personnel who suffer from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) face an increased risk for developing several long-term health problems. These conditions include Alzheimer’s-like dementia, aggression, memory loss, depression, and symptoms similar to those of other neurological diseases. Research funded through the FY13 Convergence Science Research Award (CSRA) Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is intended to address the Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease Research Programs (MRPRA’s) Overarching Challenges 1 and 2. (See Program Announcement for details.) Research funded through the FY13 CSRA is intended to generate research resources, tools, or validate research for professionals and practitioners in health sciences related to the MRPRAs mission. Applications which consider, characterize, or explore susceptibility factors (e.g., genetic, neuropsychological, or proteomic risk factors) of individuals to TBI and subsequent Alzheimer’s Disease are strongly encouraged. The research impact is intended to benefit the military community, while also meeting a public purpose for the benefit of the civilian community. |
