DOD Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research

The Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08) Defense Appropriations Act provides $4 million to the Department of Defense Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) to promote innovative research focused on lessening the impact of tuberous sclerosis complex. This program is administered by the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command through the Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). A summary of TSCRP funding opportunities is provided below. Detailed descriptions of each of the funding mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements can be found in the FY08 TSCRP Program Announcements.

Each Program Announcement is available electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website, the CDMRP website, and the CDMRP eReceipt website.

As of 2007, proposals requesting funding from the CDMRP have been submitted through the Federal Government's single entry portal, Grants.gov, in compliance with Public Law 106-107. Individual program announcements and required forms can be found on the Grants.gov website. Pre-applications are required and must be submitted through the CDMRP eReceipt website, prior to proposal submission to Grants.gov.

New for 2008

In order to clarify the CDMRP Program Announcements and proposal submission process, CDMRP has divided these documents into the following:

  1. Program Announcement - Contains all program information, scientific proposal components, and peer review criteria.
  2. Application Instructions - Contains instructions and detailed information on all pre-application and proposal requirements, including directions for Grants.gov submissions. This document also contains Regulatory Requirements and Award Administration information.

Each Application Instruction document will only apply to the specific award mechanism listed; however, this document is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the PA.
