applications to the fiscal year 2015 (fy15) duchenne muscular dystrophy research program (dmdrp) are being solicited for the defense health agency, research, development, and acquisition (dha rda) directorate, by the u.s. army medical research acquisition activity (usamraa). as directed by the office of the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, the dha rda directorate manages and executes the defense health program (dhp) research, development, test, and evaluation (rdt&e) appropriation. the executing agent for this program announcement/funding opportunity is the congressionally directed medical research programs (cdmrp). the dmdrp was initiated in 2011 to provide support for research of exceptional scientific merit and to promote the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of dmd. appropriations for the dmdrp from fy11 through fy14 totaled $13.6 million (m). the fy15 appropriation is $3.2m.

the vision of the fy15 dmdrp is to extend and improve the function, quality of life, and lifespan for all individuals diagnosed with dmd. as such, the dmdrp is seeking to better support the development of drugs, devices, and other interventions and promote their effective clinical testing. additionally, dmdrp supports the efforts of the national institutes of health muscular dystrophy coordinating committee (mdcc) to update the action plan for the muscular dystrophies, which prioritizes the needs to improve treatments and reduce the disease burden for muscular dystrophy including duchenne.

the canadian glycomics network (glyconet) is a network of centres of excellence that focuses on the role of
glycans (carbohydrates) in health. areas of focus are therapeutic proteins & vaccines, antimicrobials and chronic disease, in particular diabetes & obesity, genetic diseases involving errors in glycan metabolism, and cancer. additional information about network research can be found at www.glyconet.ca.

a key goal of glyconet is the translation of research advances into novel products for treating disease. accordingly this request for proposals seeks to fund more mature projects needing network support to de-risk and advance them to a state at which translation is possible.

this rfp has two stages, phase i and phase ii. projects can apply for either phase i or phase ii funding. those funded at phase i can subsequently apply for phase ii after successful completion.

funding available
glyconet has set aside up to $1,500,000 for this competition. proposals may request up to $200,000 in funding for phase i and up to $300,000 for phase ii. it is anticipated that projects will be completed within 12 months; justification should be provided for longer funding periods.

eligibility
this opportunity is open only to individuals eligible to hold tri-council funds; i.e., the canadian institutes of health research (cihr), the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) or the social sciences and humanities research council of canada (sshrc).

application form and submission
potential applicants must register by email to jennifer hicks (hicks2@ualberta.ca) by friday, july 17, 2015. upon registration, applicants will receive the application form.

the canadian glycomics network (glyconet) is a network of centres of excellence that focuses on the role of
glycans (carbohydrates) in health. areas of focus are therapeutic proteins & vaccines, antimicrobials and chronicdisease, in particular diabetes & obesity, genetic diseases involving errors in glycan metabolism, and cancer. additional information about network research can be found at www.glyconet.ca.

in this request for proposals we are seeking to fund exploratory projects the successful completion of which
would provide preliminary data to support other funding applications either to glyconet, the canadian institutes of
health research or a private disease-specific foundation.

requirements
projects should:
• be aligned with one of the glyconet research themes (see glyconet.ca) and be targeted to a specific disease.
• be of an applied nature so that after additional funding through other means, the outcomes could lead to
novel treatments for disease.
• involve the training of highly qualified personnel.
• multidisciplinary projects involving two or more research groups will be given preference.

funding available
glyconet has set aside up to $450,000 for this competition. proposals may request up to $75,000 in funding. all projects should be completed within 12 months; longer time periods may be requested and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

eligibility
this opportunity is open only to individuals eligible to hold tri-council funds; i.e., the canadian institutes of health research (cihr), the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) or the social sciences and humanities research council of canada (sshrc).
