DoD Bone Marrow Failure Research Program Exploration-Hypothesis Development Award

This award supports the initial exploration of innovative, untested, novel, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in bone marrow failure research. Results of studies conducted through this award may provide the scientific rational upon which a new hypothesis can be based, or it should provide initial principles of an innovative hypothesis. Because this award is designed to provide investigators with the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations, some gaps in supporting rational may exist due to lack of available information. The award mechanism is not intended to support ongoing work. The presentation of preliminary data is not required. The existence of substantial preliminary data suggests that the research would be more appropriately submitted to a different award mechanism.
