The fiscal year 2026 Neurofibromatosis Research Program Neurofibromatosis Research Academy Scholar Award (NFRA-SA) is a grant opportunity provided by the Defense Health Agency to support early-career independent investigators. The program aims to foster a collaborative research environment for scholars to pursue basic, translational, or clinical research that addresses specific FY26 NFRP Areas of Emphasis, including target identification, drug discovery, preclinical efficacy studies, and non-tumor manifestations. Eligible scholars must have completed their terminal degree less than 10 years prior to the application deadline and are required to designate a Career Guide for professional mentorship. The award provides up to 1.2 million dollars over a maximum period of four years, with an expected total funding allotment of approximately 3.6 million dollars to support about three awards. Applications are evaluated through a two-tier process consisting of a peer review for technical merit and a programmatic review for relevance to NFRP priorities. Key requirements for applicants include active registration in SAM.gov, eBRAP, and Grants.gov. Selected scholars must participate in biennial workshops and at least one virtual Interim Progress Review. Notably, these funds may not be used to conduct clinical trials, although studies using non-linked human biospecimens or datasets are exempt from this restriction.
