Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Academy Dean Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH 09 OCRP OCADEAN) is a Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) grant opportunity run through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). It is designed to support one highly accomplished, forward-thinking ovarian cancer researcher who has a proven, long-term track record of mentoring and the leadership skills needed to build and guide a national career-development program. The person selected as the Academy Dean is not just funded to manage an initiative; they are also formally recognized with a lifelong honorary title, the Department of Defense (DOD) Ovarian Cancer Research Professorship, reflecting the program's emphasis on sustained leadership and influence in the field.
At its core, this award funds the leadership of the Ovarian Cancer Academy, described as a multi-institutional, interactive virtual academy meant to function as an intensive mentoring and networking environment for junior faculty. The Academy model is built around developing the next generation of ovarian cancer researchers by giving them structured mentorship, access to a national network, and a cohort of peers working through similar early-career challenges. The Academy itself is planned to include five separately funded Early Career Investigators (ECIs) along with each ECI's designated mentor. The eligibility window for the ECIs is narrow by design: each ECI must be within the first three years of their first faculty appointment (or an equivalent role), underscoring that the Academy is intended to intervene early, when guidance and connections can most strongly shape research direction, productivity, and long-term independence. Mentors, by contrast, are expected to be experienced ovarian cancer researchers with a strong history of successfully guiding junior investigators, ensuring that the mentoring provided is both credible and practical.
Oversight and strategic guidance for the Academy is handled through an external advisory structure. The OCRP Integration Panel (IP), along with the Program Manager and Grant Manager, collectively serve as an External Advisory Board (EAB). This group is responsible for planning, organizing, and hosting key Academy convenings, including an annual one-day workshop and a larger biennial three-day conference. These meetings are intended to do more than provide updates; they are structured opportunities for Academy members to present research, build professional relationships, and actively develop collaborations that can accelerate scientific progress and strengthen the investigators' career trajectories.
The award is offered as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means there is substantial involvement by the funding agency in the direction, coordination, or oversight of the program compared to a standard grant. The activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA listing is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). Only one award is expected under this announcement, with estimated total funding of $500,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicant organizations or entities, subject to any additional clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text.
In practical terms, the DoD is using this mechanism to invest in a leadership-driven training and networking infrastructure for ovarian cancer research. The intended outcomes are concrete and career-focused: stronger scientific collaborations, improved faculty advancement and professional development, and better positioning of Early Career Investigators to win independent, peer-reviewed research funding. The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted July 17, 2009, with an application closing date of December 2, 2009, and an archive date of January 1, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement or troubleshooting submission systems, the contact points listed include CDMRP and eReceipt help lines and emails.
