This grant, offered by the Department of Defense (DoD) through its Neurofibromatosis Research Program, is for supporting the initial exploration of innovative, high-risk, high-gain, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in Neurofibromatosis (NF) research. It aims to lay the groundwork for future scientific investigations. Proposed projects must include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and design. While preliminary or published data is encouraged, it is not mandatory. The core requirement is innovation, introducing novel paradigms, challenging existing ones, or examining problems from fresh perspectives. Research that is merely an incremental advance is not considered. Principal Investigators must clearly articulate the project’s innovative nature. The application closing date was August 9, 2017.

| Description: | The NFRP Exploration – Hypothesis Development Award supports the initial exploration of innovative, high-risk, high-gain, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in NF research. Studies supported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The presentation of preliminary and/or published data is encouraged, but not required. The proposed research project should be innovative. Innovative research may introduce a novel paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, examine existing problems from novel perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly articulate how the proposed research project is innovative in the field of NF. |
