Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) is a funding opportunity under the Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) designed to support high-impact, investigator-driven projects that can make a meaningful contribution to ovarian cancer research or to the care of patients and survivors. The intent is to back research that is likely to move the field forward in a substantive way, whether by improving understanding of disease biology, advancing detection or prevention approaches, identifying or validating therapeutic targets, refining treatment strategies, or addressing patient-centered outcomes and survivorship needs. The emphasis is on work that can clearly justify its potential importance and relevance to ovarian cancer, rather than incremental or weakly supported ideas.
Projects can be proposed across a broad span of the research pipeline, including basic laboratory studies and translational research, but clinical trials are explicitly excluded. In practical terms, this means applicants can pursue mechanistic studies, biomarker discovery and validation efforts (short of trial-based testing), preclinical therapeutic development, model system development, or translational analyses using relevant samples and datasets, as long as the work does not cross into conducting an interventional clinical trial. The award aims to enable well-reasoned, scientifically grounded research that has a plausible pathway to improving outcomes for individuals affected by ovarian cancer.
A central competitiveness requirement is the strength of the scientific rationale. Applications are expected to show clear logical reasoning based on a critical review and analysis of existing literature, demonstrating that the proposed aims are built on what is known, address a significant gap or barrier, and are supported by a coherent conceptual framework. In addition, preliminary data are required and must be directly relevant to ovarian cancer. These data should substantiate feasibility and provide evidence that the core premise of the project is credible, reducing uncertainty about whether the approach can realistically succeed.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 16, 2016, by DOD-AMRAA (the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity). The funding opportunity number is W81XWH-16-OCRP-IIRA, and it falls under CFDA 12.420. The instrument types listed include both grants and cooperative agreements, indicating that awards may vary in the degree of federal involvement in project oversight depending on the specific mechanism used. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications provided in the full announcement. The original and current closing date for applications was August 10, 2016, and the program anticipated making around six awards. The award ceiling is not specified in the provided summary, so applicants would typically need to consult the full funding announcement for budget limits and other detailed submission requirements.

What kinds of research does this award support?
This award supports projects across a broad portion of the research pipeline, including basic laboratory research and translational research. Examples described in the opportunity include mechanistic studies, biomarker discovery and validation (short of trial-based testing), preclinical therapeutic development, development of model systems, and translational analyses using relevant samples and datasets.
What is the main goal or intent of the IIRA?
The intent is to back research that is likely to move the ovarian cancer field forward in a substantive way. This can include improving understanding of disease biology, advancing detection or prevention approaches, identifying or validating therapeutic targets, refining treatment strategies, and addressing patient-centered outcomes and survivorship needs.
Are clinical trials allowed under this funding opportunity?
No. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded under this funding opportunity.
