OpportunityTitle: DoD Genetic Studies of Food Allergies Concept Award
Description: The intent of this award mechanism is to support the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to the genetics of food allergies. Innovation and novelty of the concept are the most important aspects of this award mechanism. The Concept Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project, but instead, supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. This may include high-risk, potentially high-gain approaches to genetic research focused on food allergies, provided that the scientific rationale supports the feasibility and development of the proposed concept. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and will not be considered for funding under this award mechanism.
