Summary: Supports investigator-initiated research on diseases or conditions associated with military-related toxic exposures, spanning basic to translational science.
The Toxic Exposures Research Program (TERP) Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is intended to advance research and/or patient care for diseases or conditions linked to military-related toxic exposures. The program welcomes studies across the research spectrum, including basic laboratory research, translational research, preclinical studies (animal models, human subjects), and correlative studies tied to existing clinical trials. Projects employing New Approach Methodologies are also encouraged. The aim is to generate impactful findings that can enhance understanding or improve outcomes related to toxic exposures among military personnel.
