- Description
- NA The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command is soliciting proposals for scientific studies on biomechanical influences on bone, with the goal of preventing stress fractures in initial entry military training and optimizing bone health in young men and women that will protect them against bone diseases later in life. This solicitation provides opportunities for the collection of pilot data to test novel hypotheses for which preliminary data may not be available. Studies sought include but are not li mited to: (1) the effect of resistance training on bone structure and function; (2) practical monitoring strategies to identify individuals at risk for stress fracture injury; (3) physiological interactions of bone and muscle turnover and stress fracture r isk; (4) effects of high intensity exercise on the bone remodeling process, and (5) interventions designed to optimize bone turnover favoring bone accretion in physically active populations. Proposals will be evaluated for scientific merit distinguished by a clearly described plan and rationale, important and testable hypotheses, and evidence for the likelihood of successful completion and publication of results. Relevance to military problems will be the ultimate determinant of funding. Proposals must provide a clear justification and military relevance but are not required to involve military volunteer subjects. Collaborations with DoD biomedical researchers are encouraged but not required. A total of up to $2M for all awards is available for studies in this topic. Awards are expected to average $200K, including direct and indirect costs. Proposals should be submitted according to general instructions contained in the Broad Agency Announcement (http://www.usamraa.army.mil). Preproposals are not required; letters of intent containing a proposed title, brief description of project scope (lest than 150 words), and investigator and institution identification are due by 4 Sep 2002. Full proposals are due no later than 4 pm, EST, 25 September 2002. Send letters of intent and proposals to: Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, ATTN: BHMMR 02, 820 Chandler Street, Fort Detrick, MD 21702-5014.
