Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Synergistic Translational Leverage Award (STLA) is a funding opportunity under the Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) designed to push ovarian cancer research forward by making better use of human-based resources that already exist. Instead of paying for entirely new collections or rebuilding tools that have already been created, this award focuses on translational research projects that can unlock additional value from established ovarian cancer resources such as biorepositories, tissue banks, epidemiological cohorts, clinical databases, large-scale transcriptomic or proteomic datasets, and organized clinical data/metadata. The core idea is to reduce duplication, accelerate discovery, and encourage broader access and utilization of valuable resources that are often housed in individual laboratories and not fully leveraged by the wider research community.
A defining feature of this mechanism is that it requires a partnership between two Principal Investigators, referred to as “partners.†The award is built around collaboration, with the expectation that two investigators will bring complementary expertise and assets to the table in order to address a high-impact scientific question or an unmet need in ovarian cancer. The partnership model is meant to connect resource holders or developers with other investigators who can apply those resources in new ways, extending their usefulness beyond the original purpose for which they were created. By emphasizing synergy and translational leverage, the program signals that strong applications will not simply describe an available dataset or specimen bank, but will show how combining resources, skills, and translational goals can lead to meaningful outcomes that are difficult to achieve through a single-lab effort.
Administratively, this opportunity was released by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), and categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity supporting science, technology, and other research and development. The funding instrument type is listed as both a cooperative agreement and a grant, which typically indicates that awards may involve varying levels of government involvement or oversight depending on the project’s structure and needs. The program anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,750,000 across all awards, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to different types of applicant organizations, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Key dates included a posted and creation date of February 27, 2012, an original and final closing date of July 18, 2012, and an archive date of August 17, 2012. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listing provided the CDMRP Help Desk contact information (phone 301-682-5507 and email help@cdmrp.org).
FAQs: DoD Ovarian Cancer Synergistic Translational Leverage Award (STLA)
What is the DoD Ovarian Cancer Synergistic Translational Leverage Award (STLA)?
The STLA is a funding opportunity under the Department of Defense (DoD) Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) intended to advance ovarian cancer research by leveraging human-based resources that already exist, rather than funding entirely new collections or recreating tools and datasets that have already been developed.
What is the main goal of this award?
The main goal is to reduce duplication, accelerate discovery, and increase broad access and utilization of valuable ovarian cancer resources that may be housed in individual laboratories and not fully leveraged by the wider research community.
What type of research does this award prioritize?
This opportunity emphasizes translational research projects that can unlock additional value from established ovarian cancer resources and apply them toward high-impact scientific questions or unmet needs in ovarian cancer.
What does "synergistic translational leverage" mean in this context?
It refers to combining complementary expertise, assets, and translational goals across a partnership so that existing resources are used in new ways to generate meaningful outcomes that would be difficult to achieve through a single-lab effort.
What kinds of existing resources are intended to be leveraged?
Examples of relevant established resources include biorepositories, tissue banks, epidemiological cohorts, clinical databases, large-scale transcriptomic datasets, large-scale proteomic datasets, and organized clinical data/metadata.
Does the award fund creating new specimen collections or building entirely new datasets?
The program is described as focusing on making better use of existing human-based resources, rather than paying for entirely new collections or rebuilding tools that have already been created.
Is a collaboration required to apply?
Yes. A defining feature of this mechanism is that it requires a partnership between two Principal Investigators (PIs), referred to as "partners."
How many Principal Investigators are required?
Two Principal Investigators are required, and they are expected to function as partners in a collaborative project.
What is expected of the two-PI partnership?
The partnership model is intended to bring complementary expertise and assets together to address a high-impact question or unmet need in ovarian cancer, often connecting resource holders or developers with investigators who can apply those resources in new ways.
Is it enough to describe an available dataset or specimen bank in the application?
The description indicates that strong applications are expected to go beyond simply listing an available dataset or specimen bank and should demonstrate how combining resources, skills, and translational goals can lead to meaningful outcomes.
