Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Teal Innovator Award is a highly selective funding opportunity run through the Department of the Army (USAMRAA) to bring bold, high-impact thinking into ovarian cancer research. The central idea is to recruit a single, exceptionally accomplished Principal Investigator who is already a recognized leader in their own discipline, ideally coming from a field that is primarily outside of ovarian cancer, and give that person the latitude and resources to apply fresh concepts, tools, and perspectives to major problems in ovarian cancer biology, detection, treatment, or patient care. Rather than focusing on incremental advances, the award is structured to encourage ideas that are genuinely novel and potentially transformative, even if they carry substantial risk.
A defining feature of this award is its emphasis on the individual innovator and their track record of leadership. Applicants are expected to demonstrate clear, high-level recognition in their field, signaling that they have already made influential contributions and are positioned to drive a new research direction. The announcement gives examples of the kind of stature envisioned, such as holding an endowed chair, membership in elite national academies (for example, the National Academy of Sciences or National Academy of Engineering), senior leadership roles in major scientific organizations, or comparable national or international distinction. This framing makes it less like a standard project grant and more like an investment in a proven, visionary researcher with the credibility and independence to pursue unconventional approaches.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-OCRP-TIA) was offered as either a grant or cooperative agreement within the science and technology/research and development category. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $3.5 million, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning applicants could come from any type of entity (for example, academic institutions, nonprofits, for-profits, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates for the posted opportunity indicate it was released on February 27, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012, and it was later archived on August 17, 2012. The CFDA listing associated with it is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For assistance accessing the full announcement or resolving submission issues, the program directed applicants to the CDMRP Help Desk (help@cdmrp.org, 301-682-5507).
