Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Career Development Award (PRORP CDA) is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to build the next generation of orthopaedic researchers within the military community through a structured, mentored research experience. Its central purpose is career development: it supports investigators who are still early in their professional trajectory and need focused training, guidance, and protected time to develop into productive, independent orthopaedic researchers. The program is framed around the needs of military medicine, aiming to cultivate investigators who can contribute meaningfully to combat-relevant orthopaedic research and/or clinical care, with a clear preference for projects that have strong clinical relevance and a realistic path to improving patient outcomes.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered by the Department of the Army through USAMRAA (U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity) under CFDA 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development. The funding opportunity number is W81XWH-10-PRORP-CDA, and it was categorized as a discretionary program supporting science and technology and other research and development activities. Awards could be made either as cooperative agreements or as grants, which generally signals that, depending on the mechanism used, there may be varying degrees of programmatic involvement by the funding agency, particularly under a cooperative agreement structure.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipated a very small number of awards, with an expected total of two funded projects. The estimated total program funding was $700,000, indicating that the opportunity was relatively selective and intended to make targeted investments in a limited cohort of promising investigators rather than broadly distributing many smaller awards. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduces barriers for applicants who may not have access to institutional matching resources.
Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,†meaning it was open to any type of entity, with the important caveat that applicants still needed to follow any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. While the award’s stated mission emphasizes preparing military investigators, the unrestricted eligibility language suggests that a range of organizations could potentially apply if they meet the program’s detailed requirements and can credibly support the mentored career development goals and the orthopaedic research aims.
The timeline for this specific solicitation was in 2010. It was posted and created on June 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and it was archived on October 28, 2010. For applicants at the time, the announcement also provided support contacts for help accessing the full announcement and for troubleshooting the electronic submission process, including PA HELP (301-619-7079, cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil), eReceipt HELP (301-682-5507, help@cdmrp.org), and the CDMRP Help Desk.
