Opportunity Information: Apply for HT9425 23 PRMRP FPA
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), offered the FY23 Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Focused Program Award (FPA) under funding opportunity number HT9425 23 PRMRP FPA. This opportunity sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 12.420) and supports medical research efforts aimed at producing faster, more coordinated progress on problems that matter to service members, veterans, and the broader public.
The Focused Program Award is designed around the idea that certain medical challenges are too complex to be solved efficiently by a single project or a single discipline. Instead of funding isolated studies, the FPA is intended to optimize research and accelerate solutions to a clearly defined, critical question by supporting a synergistic, multidisciplinary research program. In practical terms, applicants are expected to organize multiple, connected research projects that work together, share information and resources, and collectively move the field toward an answer or solution faster than separate efforts would.
A central requirement is the "Overarching Challenge." Each application must define one unifying challenge that the proposed set of projects will address. This overarching challenge must be tied directly to a critical problem or question in research and/or patient care and must align with both (1) one of the congressionally directed FY23 PRMRP Topic Areas and (2) one of the FY23 PRMRP Strategic Goals. The expectation is that the program is not a loose collection of related ideas, but a coordinated plan where each project contributes a specific piece of the larger solution and the combined outcome is greater than the sum of the parts.
In terms of award mechanics, the DoD indicated that funding could be provided through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, depending on the nature of the work and the government role anticipated. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted on January 31, 2023, with an original closing date of July 19, 2023, and the agency expected to make about five awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount was not specified in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full funding announcement.
Overall, this opportunity targeted teams capable of building an integrated research program around a single, high-impact medical question within PRMRP priorities, with an emphasis on coordination, multidisciplinary collaboration, and outcomes that meaningfully advance research and/or patient care in the chosen topic area and strategic goal.Apply for HT9425 23 PRMRP FPA

The listing places this opportunity in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category with CFDA 12.420.
4) What is the purpose of the Focused Program Award (FPA)?
The FPA is intended to accelerate progress on complex medical challenges by funding an integrated, multidisciplinary research program rather than isolated, single-project studies. The goal is faster, more coordinated progress toward a clearly defined, critical question that matters to service members, veterans, and the broader public.
5) What makes the FPA different from a typical single-project research award?
Instead of supporting a single study, the FPA expects applicants to propose multiple connected projects that work together as a coordinated program. The projects should share information and resources and collectively produce outcomes that are stronger and faster than separate efforts would achieve.
6) What does “synergistic, multidisciplinary research program” mean in this opportunity?
It means the application should include multiple research projects across more than one discipline, intentionally designed to interact. The program should be structured so that projects reinforce each other, coordinate activities, and generate combined results that are greater than the sum of the individual parts.
7) What is the “Overarching Challenge” requirement?
Each application must define one unifying “Overarching Challenge” that the proposed set of projects will address. This challenge should represent a critical problem or question in research and/or patient care and serve as the organizing centerpiece for the entire program.
8) What does the Overarching Challenge need to align with?
The Overarching Challenge must align with both of the following:
- One of the congressionally directed FY23 PRMRP Topic Areas
- One of the FY23 PRMRP Strategic Goals
9) Can an application include a set of loosely related projects?
The opportunity description emphasizes that the program should not be a loose collection of related ideas. It should be a coordinated plan where each project contributes a specific piece of the larger solution.
10) What kinds of outcomes is the DoD looking for?
The opportunity targets outcomes that meaningfully advance research and/or patient care within the selected PRMRP topic area and strategic goal, with an emphasis on coordination, multidisciplinary collaboration, and accelerating solutions to a clearly defined high-impact medical question.
11) What award instruments might be used?
The DoD indicated that funding could be provided through either a cooperative agreement or a grant. The choice would depend on the nature of the work and the government role anticipated.
12) What does it mean that the award may be a cooperative agreement or a grant?

16) What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
The listing shows an award ceiling of 0. In grant summaries, that typically indicates the maximum award amount was not specified in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full funding announcement.
17) Does the summary specify a minimum award amount (award floor)?
No minimum award amount (award floor) is stated in the provided summary information.
18) What are applicants expected to build and submit?
Applicants are expected to propose an integrated research program made up of multiple, connected projects that collectively address a single Overarching Challenge, with clear coordination and collaboration across the projects to accelerate progress.
19) What does “shared information and resources” imply for project design?
It implies the projects should be designed to exchange data, insights, and/or enabling resources in a way that improves efficiency and speeds progress toward the unified Overarching Challenge, rather than operating independently.
20) What priorities must the proposed work fit within?
The Overarching Challenge and the program it drives must fit within PRMRP priorities by aligning to one congressionally directed FY23 PRMRP Topic Area and one FY23 PRMRP Strategic Goal.
