This grant, offered by the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity under the Defense Health Program, funds the Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease Research Program (MRPRA). Its primary mission is to understand the link between Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and alleviate the burden on affected individuals, particularly military personnel who face increased risk from TBI. The program aims to develop research tools and clinical outcomes for detecting and diagnosing neurological changes associated with TBI-linked AD. A crucial secondary objective is creating technologies to directly benefit those with neurological impairment from TBI or AD, enhancing their quality of life. The research outcomes are intended to generate valuable resources for health and medical professionals, benefiting both military and civilian communities.

| Description: | The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, Defense Health Program Medical Research and Development Office is soliciting proposals for the FY11 Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimers Disease Research Program (MRPRA) to be awarded during Calendar Year 2012. The Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) is administering the application process for this funding opportunity, and the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) is issuing this Program Announcement and will be negotiating all resulting awards.The mission of the MRPRA is to build an integrated program devoted towards understanding the association between Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Alzheimers Disease (AD) and reducing the burden on those affected. Military personnel who suffer severe or moderate TBI 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. Even mild TBI may be associated with some of these adverse consequences. Therefore, the primary objective of the FY11 MRPRA is to facilitate the development of research tools and clinical outcomes that will permit the detection and diagnosis of neurological change found with TBI-associated AD. A second but equally important objective for the FY 11 MRPRA is the development of technologies intended to directly benefit individuals suffering from the symptoms of neurological impairment associated with either TBI or AD. Research falling under this second objective is intended to either increase or maintain the quality of life of those affected by either TBI or AD.The results of the research funded through this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity are expected to generate research resources for professionals and practitioners in health, medical science and related fields related to the MRPRAs mission. The research impact is expected to benefit the military community, while meeting a public purpose for the benefit of the civilian community. |

Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| The purpose of this modification is to correct/clarify the Application Instructions with regard to research involving animal use. Research involving animal is acceptable under this Program Announcement. The Application Instructions at Appendix 5, Section C are changed to read as follows: “Specific documents relating to the use of animals in the proposed research will be requested if the Application is selected for funding (these documents should not be submitted with the Application). The ACURO, a component of the USAMRMC ORP, must review and approve all animal use prior to the start of working with animals. PIs must submit the institutional animal use protocol, IACUC approval of that protocol, and a version the animal use appendix entitled “Research Involving Animals.” For guidance on which version of the appendix to use as well as links to both, visit the ACURO website at: https://mrmc.amedd.army.mil/index.cfm?pageid= Research _Protections.acuro _Animalappendix. Allow 2 to 4 months for regulatory review and approval processes for animal studies. For additional information, send an email with questions to ACURO (ACURO@amedd.army.mil).” |
