The Department of Defense offers the PRARP Epidemiology of Military Risk Factors Research Award (EMRFA) to investigate the connections between military-related TBI and AD/ADRD. The research aims to benefit military, Veteran, and civilian communities by understanding the etiology and epidemiology of these conditions. Applicants are encouraged to explore the association between TBI and subsequent AD/ADRD and characterize cognitive and behavioral symptoms leading to functional impairments. Interdisciplinary approaches using various measures like neuropsychological assessments and imaging are recommended. Proposals that establish interdisciplinary teams or consortia to support the research efforts are also encouraged. Deadline: Nov 09, 2016.

| Description: | The PRARP Epidemiology of Military Risk Factors Research Award (EMRFA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY16. The intent of the FY16 PRARP EMRFA is to investigate the etiology and epidemiology of military-related TBI and AD/ADRD. The research impact will benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. To this end, the PRARP has identified FY16 EMRFA Overarching Challenges and Focus Areas by which the intent of this mechanism can be facilitated (see Section I.B., FY16 PRARP EMRFA Overarching Challenges and Focus Areas). These should be carefully considered as part of the application process. Applications should describe how the association of TBI and subsequent AD/ADRD will be characterized. Applications should carefully consider how their studies will characterize the cognitive and behavioral symptoms that result in functional impairments in the proposed identified cohort. Studies that use combinations of measures (e.g., neuropsychological assessments, imaging, genomics, and cerebral spinal fluid biomarkers) are encouraged. Applications that develop interdisciplinary teams or consortia as part of the support plan for executing the research are encouraged. |
