The Dept. of the Army, through the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), is seeking research proposals for the Rare Cancers Research Program (RCRP) Idea Development Award (IDA). - Managed by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) - Focused on research with high potential impact on rare cancers and the patient community - Applicants must: - Include exploratory aims or sub-aims to support discovery-driven research - Provide preliminary data with disease-specific rationale (not required to be from the proposed rare cancer type) - Approximately 15 awards expected - Total available funding: $7,350,000 - Maximum period of performance: 3 years per award - No specific OEMs, vendors, or products are named, as this is a grant for research services rather than a product procurement

Description

The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Rare Cancers Research Program (RCRP) Idea Development Award (IDA) promotes ideas that are ready for further development and have the potential to yield high-impact findings and new avenues of investigation. The program encourages applicants to include exploratory aims to support discovery-driven research and requires preliminary data with disease-specific rationale, which do not necessarily need to originate from studies of the proposed rare cancer types. The research should have a high potential impact on rare cancers and the patient community. The program expects to fund approximately 15 awards with a total funding of $7.35 million and a maximum period of performance of 3 years.
