DOD-CDMRP: Multiple Sclerosis Research Program (MSRP) – Pre-application

Idea Development Award: supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/potentially high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries in understanding the causes and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and/or improvements in patient care and/or quality of life. Clinical trials are not allowed. Funding: up to $400,000 over 2 years. Proposals must address at least one of the FY13 MSRP Focus Areas:

- Biological basis of symptoms and their management (e.g., cognition, quality of life, rehabilitation, restoration of function, pathophysiological basis of pain)

- Mechanistic studies of environmental risk factors

- Endocrinological influences on disease activity and progression

- Co-morbidities and their impact on disease activity and progression.
