Opportunity Information: Apply for W81XWH 22 NFRP EIRA
The DoD Neurofibromatosis (NF) Early Investigator Research Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to help early-career scientists launch or strengthen a research trajectory focused on neurofibromatosis. Its core purpose is career development through a mentored research project: it supports a postdoctoral-level investigator as they design and carry out a defined NF research study, build technical and intellectual independence, and position themselves to become a future leader in the NF field. A notable feature of this award is that it explicitly welcomes promising investigators who do not yet have a background in NF research, as long as they can demonstrate strong potential and a clear commitment to pursuing a long-term career at the forefront of NF research.
A central requirement is structured mentorship. The postdoctoral investigator is the Principal Investigator (PI) on the application, but the proposal must include at least one mentor who is well matched to the project and who brings demonstrated NF expertise and mentoring capability. Mentor qualifications are expected to be evidenced through active research funding, recent publications, and a track record of successful mentorship. The opportunity also addresses practical career-stage realities: the primary mentor is allowed to be a junior faculty member, but in that scenario the PI is encouraged to add a secondary mentor with a stronger or more established record in NF research and trainee development. Across any mentoring team, reviewers are looking for a clear commitment to helping the PI progress toward independence as an NF investigator, not simply providing access to a lab or a dataset.
Administratively, this opportunity is issued by the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, through USAMRAA, under the Neurofibromatosis Research Program. The funding opportunity title is "DoD Neurofibromatosis, Early Investigator Research Award," with funding opportunity number W81XWH 22 NFRP EIRA. It is listed as a discretionary opportunity and supports science and technology and other research and development activities under CFDA 12.420. The funding instruments include both grants and cooperative agreements, indicating that awards may involve varying levels of government involvement depending on the specific award mechanism used. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicant entity types unless additional eligibility clarifications are specified elsewhere in the full announcement.
Key dates and award expectations included in the notice are a creation date of April 11, 2022, an original closing date of July 21, 2022, and an anticipated number of awards of about four. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically signals that a specific maximum amount was not captured in that field and that applicants should rely on the full funding announcement for budget limits, caps, and other cost rules. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a mentored, early-career on-ramp into NF research, emphasizing both a credible, focused project and a mentoring plan that clearly develops the PI into an independent NF researcher.Apply for W81XWH 22 NFRP EIRA
