FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

General Considerations:

The CDMRP application submission process requires Principal Investigators and Business Officials to conduct preliminary registration steps in the electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal, Grants.gov and the System for Award Management prior to executing three steps for successful application submission:

• Step 1: Submitting pre-applications in eBRAP
• Step 2: Submitting full applications in eBRAP or Grants.gov
• Step 3: Verifying application submission in eBRAP

Eligible Organizations:

Unless otherwise stated in the funding opportunity announcement, extramural non-DOD organizations and intramural organizations within the DOD are eligible to apply, including foreign and domestic organizations, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and public or private entities.

• Extramural Organization: An eligible foreign or domestic non-DOD organization. Examples of extramural organizations include, but are not limited to, academic institutions, biotechnology companies, foundations, federal government organizations other than the DOD, i.e., intragovernmental organizations, and research institutes.
• Intramural DOD Organization: Refers specifically to DOD organizations, including DOD laboratories, DOD military treatment facilities, and DOD activities embedded within a civilian medical center.
