This Department of Defense grant is for supporting investigator-initiated basic and clinically oriented research focused on Neurofibromatosis (NF) and Schwannomatosis. The award aims to provide insights into disease development, significantly improve current diagnostic and treatment approaches, and enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions. Priority is given to research addressing high-mortality complications like neoplasms and cerebrovascular issues, high-morbidity complications such as skeletal maladies and pain, and refinement of imaging/molecular markers for clinical trials. Translational research, including preclinical testing of therapeutic agents, is also encouraged. Applicants must include relevant preliminary data. Collaborative projects across disciplines and between academia and industry are highly supported.

| Description: | The NFRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award mechanism was first offered in FY96. Since then, 341 Investigator-Initiated Research Award applications have been received, and 96 have been recommended for funding. The NFRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award supports basic and clinically oriented research that will: � Provide insight into the development of NF and Schwannomatosis, � Result in substantial improvements over today�s approach to the diagnosis and treatment of NF and/or Schwannomatosis, and � Have an impact on the quality of life of persons with those diseases. DOD FY11 NFRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award 4 Areas of Encouragement: The FY11 NFRP encourages research applications that specifically address the critical needs of the NF community in the following areas: � Complications of NF with high mortality such as neoplasms and cerebrovascular abnormalities; � Complications of NF with high morbidity such as skeletal maladies, learning deficits, hormone-associated effects, and pain; � Refinement and standardization of imaging techniques, molecular and cellular markers, and quality of life metrics for use in future clinical trials; and � Translational research such as the development or preclinical testing of therapeutic agents for the treatment of NF. Applications must include preliminary data that is relevant to NF and/or Schwannomatosis and the proposed project. Optional Qualified Collaborator: The FY11 NFRP strongly supports collaborative research between basic scientists and clinical researchers, and between academic scientists and biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry scientists. Collaborations that bring new perspectives from other disciplines, or bring new investigators into the NF field are also strongly encouraged. |
