Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Pilot Award (OCRP Pilot Award) is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), designed to jump-start bold, conceptually innovative ovarian cancer research. The program is specifically aimed at high risk/high reward ideas that have the potential to produce critical discoveries or major leaps forward in how ovarian cancer is understood, prevented, detected, or treated. Rather than prioritizing incremental work, this mechanism is intended to support projects that can challenge existing assumptions and serve as a catalyst for new directions in the field.
A key requirement is that the proposed project maintains a clear and direct focus on ovarian cancer. Applicants are expected to ground their work in ovarian cancer-relevant systems, which can include the use of human tissues, ovarian cancer cell lines, existing datasets, and/or appropriate animal models. The research plan should be built around a testable hypothesis supported by strong scientific rationale. While preliminary data are not required for submission, they may be included if available. In practice, that means the application is judged less on how much prior data the team already has and more on whether the idea is scientifically sound, logically argued, and plausibly positioned to shift current thinking or open up new approaches within ovarian cancer research.
This award does not support clinical trials, making it better suited for early-stage or preclinical studies, proof-of-concept work, technology development, exploratory biology, or other foundational research that can later inform translational pathways. Funding is provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement structure under the broader category of science and technology research and development, with no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For this specific announcement (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-14-OCRP-PA), the DoD anticipated making about 15 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $5,640,000. The opportunity was posted on April 15, 2014, and had a closing date of August 20, 2014 (with an archive date of September 19, 2014). Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant organization types could apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement.
For assistance accessing the full announcement or using the electronic submission system, applicants were directed to the CDMRP eBRAP Help Desk (help@eBRAP.org, 301-682-5507). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), reflecting its placement within the DoD medical research portfolio.
