MiamiOH OARS on 12 Jun 18The intent of the FY18 ERP LRFA is to support a large-scale, prospective, longitudinal epidemiological research study that is relevant to the characterization of PTE. The work must be related to the ERP's mission (see Section II.A, Program Description). Applications should describe how the association of TBI and subsequent PTE will be assessed or characterized. This would include a description of the nature of the TBIs in the cohort. Studies that evaluate the feasibility of using combinations of outcomes (e.g., neuropsychological assessments, imaging, and genomics) are encouraged. Therefore, interdisciplinary research teams or consortia are also encouraged. Note that applicants will be required to submit a Preproposal Narrative. Due to the intent of this mechanism, preliminary data are required. In addition, expedited access to an already identified, suitable study cohort that will support the proposed hypothesis or hypotheses is required. As part of the application process, all applicants are required to provide a Longitudinal Studies Research Statement that addresses the longitudinal aspects of the project. Applicants will also be required to provide a statistical plan and identify appropriate personnel to support the statistical plan as part of the full application.
