Description
The Dept. of the Army's Reconstructive Transplant Research Program (RTRP) Concept Award is designed to support the exploration of highly innovative new concepts or untested theories relevant to reconstructive transplantation. The award aims to fund research that introduces new paradigms, challenges existing ones, or approaches problems from novel perspectives. Incremental advances on published data are not considered innovative for this opportunity.
This program does not support clinical trials. Applicants should not submit preliminary data; however, proposals must demonstrate the feasibility of achieving interpretable results and provide a clear rationale for the proposed work. Early-career investigators, including those at or above the level of postdoctoral fellow, are encouraged to apply.
