Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Clinical Trial Award (PRORP CTA), Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-11-PRORP-CTA, is a U.S. Department of the Army (USAMRAA) funding opportunity under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development) aimed at quickly launching clinical trials that could meaningfully improve care for combat-relevant orthopaedic injuries. The focus is on practical, near-term clinical testing rather than early exploratory work, with the core intent being rapid implementation of trials that can lead to real changes in treatment, rehabilitation, and outcomes for service members and Veterans affected by orthopaedic trauma linked to military service and combat conditions.
This award supports clinical trials that evaluate interventions with clear potential to affect orthopaedic injury care in military contexts. Trial concepts can include promising new products, pharmacologic agents (including drugs and biologics), medical devices, clinical guidance or protocols, and emerging approaches or technologies. In other words, applicants are expected to bring forward interventions that are ready for rigorous clinical evaluation, with a rationale that they could address problems commonly seen in combat-related orthopaedic injury, such as complex extremity trauma, bone and joint damage, and related functional impairments.
A central requirement is demonstrating strong military relevance. Every application must clearly justify how the proposed trial addresses the needs of military and/or Veteran populations impacted by combat-relevant orthopaedic injuries. The program explicitly encourages collaboration with military researchers and clinicians, reflecting a preference for proposals that are grounded in military medical realities and can be integrated into military or VA-related care settings. Proposals that include active duty service members or Veterans as all or part of the study population are given higher priority for funding, signaling that direct applicability to these groups is a key review and selection factor.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary research and development funding in the science and technology area, with awards made as grants and/or cooperative agreements. The expected number of awards is six, supported by an estimated total funding level of $13,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement).
Key dates provided in the source data show the opportunity was posted July 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 5, 2011, and an archive date of January 4, 2012.
