GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview
DoD's Bone Marrow Failure Research Program Resource Development Award — a single $1.25M grant for creating shared research resources (biobanks, patient registries, animal models, cell lines, databases) that benefit the entire BMF research community. Not hypothesis-driven research — this is INFRASTRUCTURE that enables others' research.
Who Should Apply
Institutions with capacity to develop and maintain shared research resources for the BMF community — patient sample repositories, characterized cell line panels, validated animal models, or clinical databases.
Who Should NOT Apply
Individual research labs wanting to fund their own projects, institutions without resource-sharing infrastructure, or researchers proposing hypothesis-driven studies.
Key Requirements (Plain English)
- •Must develop shared research resources for the BMF community
- •Must make resources available to all qualified researchers
- •Single award of $1.25M
- •Must address a critical resource gap in BMF research
- •Must demonstrate sustainability and accessibility
- •No cost-sharing required
💡 GrantQuick Tip
Resource Development Awards fill gaps the entire field needs — if you've heard BMF researchers consistently complain about lacking access to specific samples, models, or data, that's your proposal. The key: show the resource doesn't already exist AND show demand (letters from researchers who would use it). Think: a characterized panel of BMF patient-derived iPSC lines, a multi-center clinical database, or a validated radiation-induced BMF animal model.
Competitiveness: High — single award. Must identify a resource gap the community genuinely needs AND have infrastructure to maintain it long-term.
What This Grant Funds
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Bone Marrow Failure Research Program (BMFRP) Resource Development Award (RDA) supports the development of a multiomic atlas generated from well-annotated human bone marrow failure (BMF) samples, with omic data derived from marrow specimens. The resulting dataset should serve as an open-access, durable resource for the BMF research and clinical communities and is expected to facilitate key discoveries that advance the understanding of BMF diseases.
Distinctive Features: The application must include a robust Data Resource Sharing Plan that describes the means and timeline by which the fully developed resource will be made available to the scientific and clinical community.
