The Department of Defense (DoD) is offering the Neurofibromatosis Research Program (NFRP) New Investigator Award to foster innovation and career development in neurofibromatosis (NF) research. This grant is specifically designed to support promising independent investigators or facilitate the transition of established researchers into the field of NF. While prior NF research experience is welcome, it is not a prerequisite; however, investigators with limited NF backgrounds are strongly encouraged to collaborate with experienced NF researchers. Applicants must provide preliminary data directly relevant to neurofibromatosis and/or Schwannomatosis to support their proposed projects. The award aims to advance critical understanding and breakthroughs in these conditions by empowering new research talent.

| Description: | The NFRP New Investigator Award mechanism was first offered in FY99. Since then, 196 New Investigator Award applications have been received, and 43 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the NFRP New Investigator Award is to support the continued development of promising independent investigators and/or the transition of established investigators into a career in the field of NF research. Experience in NF research is allowed, but not required. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) with a limited background in NF research are strongly encouraged to have a collaborator who is experienced in the NF field. New Investigator Award applications must include preliminary data that is relevant to NF and/or Schwannomatosis and the proposed project. |
