Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to help researchers test bold, early-stage ideas in ovarian cancer. Its main purpose is to encourage innovative concepts or theories that may be too new or unconventional for more traditional funding routes, but that still have the potential to open up important new directions for the field. Projects supported under this award are intended to act as a springboard: they should generate compelling initial evidence, challenge existing assumptions, or introduce new approaches that could later grow into larger, more definitive studies and ultimately lead to meaningful advances in ovarian cancer research.
A central requirement is that the proposed work must be clearly and directly focused on ovarian cancer. This focus should be evident in the scientific plan and in the research materials or systems being used. Examples given include ovarian cancer tissues, relevant ovarian cancer cell lines, appropriate datasets, or animal models that are suitable for studying ovarian cancer biology, prevention, detection, or treatment. The program is not positioned as a general cancer mechanism award; instead, it expects the relevance to ovarian cancer to be explicit and integrated into the core aims of the project.
From a scientific standpoint, the Pilot Award expects applicants to propose a testable hypothesis supported by strong scientific rationale. In other words, the research should not be purely exploratory without a guiding framework. Even though the award emphasizes innovation, the application should explain why the idea is plausible, what specific question will be tested, and how the proposed experiments or analyses will provide interpretable results. The DoD frames these projects as potential catalysts for the field, meaning the best-fit proposals are those that could expand, reshape, or significantly refine how researchers think about ovarian cancer and how they approach key problems within it.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 16, 2016, with an application closing date of August 10, 2016. The funding opportunity number is W81XWH-16-OCRP-PA, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with CFDA number 12.420. Funding instruments include grants and cooperative agreements, and the administering agency is listed as DOD-AMRAA. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant organizations could apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The announcement anticipated making 16 awards, while the award ceiling amount was not specified in the provided source data.
FAQs: DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award
What is the DoD OCRP Pilot Award?
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity intended to support bold, early-stage ovarian cancer research ideas. It is designed to help investigators test innovative concepts or theories that may be too new or unconventional for more traditional funding sources, while still having the potential to open new directions for the field.
What is the main goal of this Pilot Award?
The main goal is to serve as a springboard for future work by generating compelling initial evidence, challenging existing assumptions, or introducing new approaches that could grow into larger, more definitive studies and ultimately advance ovarian cancer research.
Does the proposed project have to be specifically about ovarian cancer?
Yes. A central requirement is that the proposed work must be clearly and directly focused on ovarian cancer. The relevance to ovarian cancer is expected to be explicit and integrated into the core aims of the project.
Is this award meant for general cancer mechanism research?
No. The program is not positioned as a general cancer mechanism award. It expects the project’s relevance to ovarian cancer to be direct, clear, and central to the research plan.
How should the ovarian cancer focus show up in the application?
The ovarian cancer focus should be evident in the scientific plan and also in the research materials or systems being used. The opportunity description emphasizes that ovarian cancer relevance should be clear in what the project aims to do and how it will be done.
What kinds of research materials or systems are described as appropriate?
Examples listed include ovarian cancer tissues, relevant ovarian cancer cell lines, appropriate datasets, or animal models suitable for studying ovarian cancer biology, prevention, detection, or treatment.
What type of science is the Pilot Award looking for?
The Pilot Award is looking for innovative, early-stage projects that propose a testable hypothesis and are supported by a strong scientific rationale. While innovation is emphasized, the work should not be purely exploratory without a guiding framework.
Do applicants need a hypothesis, or can the work be purely exploratory?
Applicants are expected to propose a testable hypothesis supported by strong scientific rationale. The description indicates the research should not be purely exploratory without a guiding framework.
How does the DoD describe the expected impact of Pilot Award projects?
The DoD frames these projects as potential catalysts for the field. Best-fit proposals are those that could expand, reshape, or significantly refine how researchers think about ovarian cancer and how they approach key problems within it.
What should an application explain to show the idea is plausible?
Based on the description, the application should explain why the idea is plausible, what specific question will be tested, and how the proposed experiments or analyses will provide interpretable results.
