Pre-announcement: Department of Defense Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Funding Opportunities for Fiscal Year 2014

This week a pre-announcement has been released by the U.S. Department of Defense, listing the research areas of the PRMRP for 2014. Full details, application instructions, and application deadlines will be released in April, but it has already been announced that the Department of Defense has allocated 200 Million USD to the program – funds divided across a number of projects.
The program aims to improve the health and well-being of all U.S. military personnel, so it is important to keep the military relevance in mind when preparing a proposal for this funding opportunity.
