Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award is a U.S. Department of the Army funding opportunity administered through USAMRAA that is meant to jump-start bold, early-stage ovarian cancer research ideas. The program is specifically geared toward conceptually innovative projects that may be considered high risk but also high reward, where the potential payoff is a meaningful shift in what researchers understand about ovarian cancer or how they approach prevention, detection, and treatment. In practical terms, the intent is to fund studies that could plausibly lead to critical discoveries or major advancements, especially work that challenges prevailing assumptions, explores unconventional mechanisms, or tests new strategies that could open up entirely new directions for the field.
A central expectation of the Pilot Award is that proposed research is driven by a clear, testable hypothesis supported by strong scientific rationale. While the award encourages creativity and risk-taking, it is not meant for purely speculative ideas without a logical foundation; applicants are expected to explain why the idea is scientifically plausible and how the work will be structured to generate interpretable results. Successful projects should act as a catalyst, meaning they should produce findings, tools, datasets, or proof-of-concept evidence that can reshape current thinking or enable a bigger, more definitive next step in ovarian cancer research.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary research and development program under either a grant or cooperative agreement mechanism. The total estimated funding available was approximately $2.4 million, with an expectation of about seven awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for institutions or organizations that may not have discretionary funds to contribute. The program fell under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development), reflecting its placement within the Department of Defense medical research portfolio.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to essentially any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Key timeline details include a posted and creation date of April 20, 2011, with an original and final application closing date of August 18, 2011, and an archive date of September 17, 2011. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact was the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507.
Overall, the OCRP Pilot Award is best understood as seed funding for ovarian cancer research that is daring but still grounded: projects should be innovative enough to potentially change the field, structured around a solid hypothesis, and designed to produce results that can quickly propel ovarian cancer science toward new and improved directions.
