DoD Ovarian Cancer Translational Pilot Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Ovarian Cancer Translational Pilot Award is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to back early-stage translational research projects in ovarian cancer that can move promising ideas closer to real-world clinical use. The emphasis is on practical translation rather than basic science alone: projects should either push an insight from the laboratory toward patient care (bench to bedside) or take a clinically observed problem back into the lab for focused investigation (bedside to bench). The overall intent is to speed up progress on a clearly defined, important ovarian cancer question by funding pilot work that can serve as a catalyst for larger follow-on studies and eventual clinical application.

A central theme of the award is innovation that meaningfully challenges or expands how ovarian cancer is currently understood, prevented, detected, or treated. The program is looking for proposals that do more than refine established approaches; it wants ideas that could shift thinking or open new avenues, while still being grounded in a plausible translational path. The pilot nature of the mechanism means the work is expected to generate strong preliminary evidence, feasibility data, or proof-of-concept results that make the next step toward clinical testing or implementation more realistic.

The opportunity explicitly recognizes that translational ideas can come from many sources, not just laboratory breakthroughs. Investigators may base a pilot project on a new lab discovery, a careful synthesis of existing literature that reveals a promising gap or opportunity, population-based or epidemiologic findings, novel signals emerging from clinical trials, or a clinician's direct experience with patients including patterns and observations that have not yet been formally studied. This broad view of where valuable translational questions originate is meant to capture clinically relevant problems and opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

Administratively, the award was offered as a discretionary funding opportunity through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-11-OCRP-TPA. It supported grants and cooperative agreements within the science and technology/research and development category. The program anticipated making about 9 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $2,880,000. The CFDA number associated with the program was 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was generally open to any type of applicant entity unless additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement stated otherwise.
