The AFPMB is soliciting pre-proposals for original, innovative research designed to develop new interventions for protection of deployed military personnel from diseases caused by arthropod-borne pathogens. Diseases of significant concern include malaria, dengue virus, Zika virus, chikungunya virus and other arboviruses, and Lyme disease. The program supports development of: (1) new toxicants or the adaptation of existing toxicants to relevant vectors; (2) new insecticide application techniques; and (3) new personal protection tools that prevent human-vector contact (excluding work on topical repellents). Ideally the research would support the development, evaluation and registration of new insecticides, or improved formulations of existing insecticides for vector control, new technology or enhanced modalities of personal protection from biting arthropods, or would improve the efficacy and sustainability of equipment for application of pesticides for vector control in a military operational environment. Research should be product oriented, consisting of applied research related to a particular product, field evaluation of products for military uses, or research directed towards the development of an existing product for commercial manufacture. The research must be primarily applicable to the military but products should be transferable to civilian uses. It is anticipated that approximately $2,000,000 will be awarded in FY17, with future years subject to the availability of funds. Total proposed cost may not exceed $250,000 per year for up to 3 years, inclusive of direct and indirect costs. Approximately 8-12 awards are anticipated. Funding is intended to begin in May 2017. Projects will be selected on the basis of peer-reviewed scientific merit and programmatic relevance determined by an Armed Forces Pest Management Board Integrated Process Team. Pre-proposals will be accepted from investigators who are employed by or affiliated with an eligible institution. Eligible institutions include for-profit, non-profit, public, and private organizations in any country. Examples include academic establishments (universities, colleges), hospitals, laboratories, companies, and agencies of local, state, and federal government (except USDA). The pre-proposal form is available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/eie/afpmb/docs/dwfp/preproposal_form.pdf. Follow the directions on the form for submission to the AFPMB webmaster. This form should be submitted no later than 27 January 2017, 12:00 p.m. EST. Other estimated timelines for the FY17 DWFP are as follows: invitation to submit Full Proposal to be sent by 24 Feb 2017; invited Full Proposal submission deadline will be approximately 1 April 2017; and Award Start Date approximately 30 May 2017.
