research projects that have the potential to make an

important contribution to multiple sclerosis research and/

or patient care.

Deadline: Pre-applications, June 17, 2020; proposals,

Oct. 1, 2020.

Funds: $16 million for up to seven awards.

Eligibility: Unrestricted.

Areas: DOD said all applications submitted to the FY20

Multiple Sclerosis Research Program Investigator-

Initiated Research Award Program must address at least

one of the following focus areas: central nervous system

Multiple Sclerosis, Clinical Trial Award (DOD)

Scope: The Defense Department’s U.S. Army Medical

Research Acquisition Activity seeks applications for the

Multiple Sclerosis, Clinical Trial Award announcement

to support the rapid implementation of clinical trials

with the potential to have a signicant impact on the

treatment or management of multiple sclerosis.

Deadline: Pre-applications, June 17, 2020; proposals,

Oct. 1, 2020.

Funds: $16 million total for up to two awards.

Eligibility: Unrestricted.

Areas: DOD said clinical trials may be designed to

evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic

agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance,

interventions, health behavioral modications and/

or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed

projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials

(e.g., pilot, rst in human, Phase 0), to demonstrate

feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials,

through larger-scale Phase I and II trials, to determine

efficacy in relevant patient populations.

Energy Storage for Fossil Power Generation

(DOE)

Scope: The Energy Department’s National Energy

Technology Laboratory seeks applications for

the Energy Storage for Fossil Power Generation

announcement to mature energy storage technologies

that have the potential to be integrated with large-scale

fossil assets, both existing and new build, with and

without carbon capture.

Deadline: Concept papers, June 16, 2020; proposals,

Aug. 13, 2020.

Funds: In Phase 1, $1.8 million for up to nine awards of

up to $200,000.

Eligibility: Unrestricted.

Areas: DOE said the objectives of this announcement

are to: advance near-term, fossil-fueled, asset-

integrated, energy storage solutions toward commercial

deployment; mature promising mid-Technology

Readiness Level (TRL), component-level, energy

storage solutions toward eventual system integration

with fossil-fueled assets; and develop innovative,

low-TRL concepts and technologies that offer game-

changing benets for fossil-fueled assets.
