Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to jump-start conceptually innovative ovarian cancer research that is intentionally high risk and high reward. The central aim is to support early-stage ideas that, if successful, could produce critical discoveries or major advances and meaningfully push the ovarian cancer field forward. Projects are expected to challenge, expand, or reshape current scientific thinking and/or established research approaches rather than simply extending existing work in incremental ways.
This award mechanism emphasizes a clear, testable hypothesis grounded in strong scientific rationale. Applicants do not need to include preliminary data, which makes the program especially suitable for new directions, novel technologies, or unconventional hypotheses that have not yet generated extensive supportive results. While preliminary data may be included if available, the application is primarily judged on the quality of the reasoning, the logic connecting the hypothesis to the proposed methods, and the overall plausibility and potential impact of the research concept.
A key limitation is that clinical trials are not supported under this award. The program is focused on research and development activities that could ultimately enable future translational or clinical progress, but proposals should not be structured as clinical trial studies. Funding is provided through either a grant or cooperative agreement mechanism under the broader category of science and technology and other research and development.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 27, 2013, with an application deadline of August 28, 2013, and it was archived on September 27, 2013. The Department of the Army, through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), is the issuing agency. The program anticipated making about 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,080,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant entity types subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement. The associated CFDA number is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For technical assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDMRP Help Desk is listed as the point of contact at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org.
DoD OCRP Pilot Award (Ovarian Cancer Research Program) - FAQs
What is the DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Award?
The OCRP Pilot Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity intended to jump-start conceptually innovative ovarian cancer research. It is designed for projects that are intentionally high risk and high reward, with the goal of generating critical discoveries or major advances that could meaningfully push the ovarian cancer field forward.
What kinds of research ideas does this award prioritize?
This mechanism prioritizes early-stage ideas that challenge, expand, or reshape current scientific thinking and/or established research approaches. The intent is to support projects that go beyond incremental extensions of existing work and instead pursue innovative concepts that could lead to major breakthroughs if successful.
Is this award intended for early-stage or exploratory projects?
Yes. The central aim is to support early-stage ideas and new research directions, including novel technologies or unconventional hypotheses that may not yet have extensive supportive results.
Does the application require preliminary data?
No. Applicants do not need to include preliminary data. While preliminary data may be included if available, the application is primarily evaluated based on the strength of the scientific rationale, the clarity and testability of the hypothesis, and the logical connection between the hypothesis and the proposed methods.
What is the expected scientific framework for a proposal?
Proposals are expected to present a clear, testable hypothesis grounded in strong scientific rationale. The evaluation emphasis is on the quality of the reasoning, the logic linking the hypothesis to the methods, overall plausibility, and the potential impact of the concept.
Are clinical trials allowed under this award?
No. Clinical trials are not supported under the OCRP Pilot Award. The opportunity is focused on research and development activities that could enable future translational or clinical progress, but proposals should not be structured as clinical trial studies.
What is the purpose of funding high-risk, high-reward research in this program?
The purpose is to support projects that may be too early, too novel, or too unconventional for more traditional funding mechanisms, but that could deliver transformative advances if the underlying concept proves successful.
What type of funding mechanism is used for awards?
Funding is provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement mechanism, under the broader category of science and technology and other research and development.
Who is the issuing agency for this opportunity?
The issuing agency is the Department of the Army, through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA).
