## What the grant funds

The FY24 TBDRP Idea Development Award is intended to support conceptually innovative research that could lead to impactful discoveries or significant advancements that will accelerate progress toward reducing the burden of Lyme disease and/or other tick-borne diseases and conditions and improve patient care, and/or the quality of life for military Service Members, Veterans, and their Families, as well as the American public. Research supported by an Idea Development Award should be conceptually innovative, introduce a new concept or question, challenge existing paradigms, approach issues from a new perspective, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities and should not merely be a next logical step or an incremental advance on published data or ongoing research. Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed studies is neither required nor prohibited for the Idea Development Award; however, in its absence, strong rationale for achieving interpretable results must be provided.
