DoD Ovarian Cancer Pilot Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Ovarian Cancer Pilot Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-OCRP-PA) is a U.S. Department of Defense research grant program administered through the Army, USAMRAA, under the Ovarian Cancer Research Program. Its main purpose is to fund conceptually innovative, high risk/high reward projects that have the potential to produce major leaps in ovarian cancer research rather than incremental progress. The program is designed to back ideas that could open up new directions for the field, challenge existing assumptions, or introduce novel approaches that, if successful, could ultimately lead to critical discoveries and meaningful advancements in prevention, detection, biology, or treatment strategies for ovarian cancer.

A central expectation of this award is that the proposed work is hypothesis-driven and grounded in a strong scientific rationale. Applicants are expected to articulate a clear, testable hypothesis and justify why the approach is logical and scientifically compelling. Unlike many mechanisms that require extensive pilot results, this award does not require preliminary data, which makes it particularly suitable for investigators pursuing newer, less-tested ideas. Preliminary data can be included if available, but the application is intended to stand on the quality of the reasoning, the soundness of the proposed experimental plan, and the likelihood that the project could catalyze a shift in thinking or methods within the ovarian cancer research community.

This opportunity is explicitly focused on research and development and does not support clinical trials under this mechanism. In practice, that means applicants should propose preclinical, translational, mechanistic, technological, or other non-trial research activities rather than interventional studies enrolling human participants in a formal clinical trial framework. The funding instrument listed for this opportunity includes grants and cooperative agreements, indicating that awards may be managed either as traditional assistance agreements or with a closer level of programmatic involvement depending on the award structure.

The opportunity was posted on February 27, 2012, with an application closing date of July 18, 2012, and an archive date of August 17, 2012. The estimated total funding for the competition was $3.4 million, with an expectation of making about 8 awards, suggesting a competitive selection process with a limited number of funded projects. The program is associated with CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the program is broadly open to many types of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full announcement. This typically signals that universities, research institutes, nonprofits, for-profits, and other entities could apply if they meet the standard federal and program-specific requirements.

For applicants who need assistance accessing the full announcement or have administrative questions, the contact point provided is the CDMRP Help Desk, reachable at 301-682-5507 or by email at help@cdmrp.org.
