DoD Ovarian Cancer Academy Award Early Career Investigator | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Ovarian Cancer Academy Award for Early Career Investigators is a Department of Defense (Dept. of the Army/USAMRAA) funding opportunity under the Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) designed to build the next generation of ovarian cancer research leaders. It operates as a structured, career-development focused program that combines research support with intensive mentoring, national-level networking, and participation in a peer community of other junior faculty. Rather than being a stand-alone research grant in the traditional sense, the award is meant to place early career investigators into a coordinated training and collaboration environment where their research progress and professional growth are actively supported and monitored.

The core feature of the program is the Ovarian Cancer Academy itself, originally launched in FY2009 and described as a unique, interactive virtual academy. The Academy is built around Early Career Investigator (ECI) and Designated Mentor pairs drawn from different institutions, alongside an Academy Dean who provides additional oversight and connectivity across the cohort. The Dean functions as a central resource for both the investigators and their mentors, evaluates each investigator's progress over time, and helps promote communication and collaboration across the Academy. The overall intent is to accelerate the transition of junior faculty into successful, highly productive ovarian cancer researchers by embedding them in a collaborative research training platform rather than leaving them to develop in isolation.
