What the grant funds

The FY21 TBIPHRP IIRA is intended to support studies that will make an important contribution toward understanding, preventing, and treating TBI and/or psychological health conditions. Research projects may focus on any phase of research from basic laboratory research through translational research, including preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial. Research involving human subjects and human anatomical substances is permitted; however, this FY21 TBIPHRP IIRA may not be used to conduct clinical trials. The IIRA is designed to support research with the potential to yield highly impactful discoveries or major advancements. The application should clearly demonstrate the project’s potential near-term and long-term outcome(s)/product(s) (knowledge and/or materiel) and how they will impact a critical problem or question in the field of research and/or patient care in the FY21 TBIPHRP IIRA Focus Areas(s) addressed. A clinical trial is defined as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or behavioral health-related outcomes. This award may not be used to conduct clinical trials. Applications proposing clinical trials may be submitted to the following FY21 TBIPHRP funding opportunities:  Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-21-S-TBIPH1)  Focused Program Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-21-S-TBIPH2)  Translational Research Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-21-TBIPHRP-TRA) Clinical research is defined as: (1) patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues that cannot be linked to a living individual. Patient-oriented research includes: (a) mechanisms of human disease, (b) therapeutic interventions, (c) clinical trials, and (d) development of new technologies; (2) epidemiologic and behavioral studies; and (3) outcomes research and health services research. Note: Studies that meet the requirements for Institutional Review Board (IRB) Exemption 4 are not considered CDMRP-defined clinical research.
