The DoD Toxic Exposures Investigator-Initiated Research Award is intended to support studies that will make an important contribution toward research and/or patient care for diseases or conditions associated with military-related toxic exposures. Research projects may focus on any phase of research from basic laboratory research through translational research, including preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial. New Approach Methodologies may also be used. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Research focus on diseases or conditions associated with military-related toxic exposures • Support for basic laboratory research through translational research • Inclusion of preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects • Correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial • New Approach Methodologies may be used
