Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Clinical Trial Development Award (CTDA) is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to help research teams do the upfront work needed to get a high-impact orthopaedic clinical trial ready to launch, specifically for injuries linked to military combat. Instead of primarily paying for a full clinical trial itself, this award focuses on the planning and development steps that make a trial feasible and competitive, with the goal of moving promising orthopaedic treatments closer to real-world testing in the populations most affected by combat-related injuries.
The program sits under the Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Research Program (PRORP) and emphasizes clinical trial preparation for therapies that could meaningfully improve outcomes after combat-related orthopaedic trauma. Proposed trials can address any part of treating these injuries as long as they align with the FY13 PRORP CTDA Focus Areas referenced in the announcement. Examples of what the DoD is willing to see include evaluation of new or emerging products, pharmacologic agents (including drugs or biologics), medical devices, clinical practice guidance, and other emerging approaches or technologies that could translate into better care for service members and Veterans dealing with complex musculoskeletal injuries.
A central requirement is military relevance. Every application must clearly justify how the proposed effort matters to military and/or Veteran populations affected by combat-related orthopaedic injury. The announcement also makes it clear that collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged, which signals that the program values practical alignment with military medicine and the realities of caring for these injuries in DoD or Veteran-related settings. In addition, applications that plan to include active duty service members or Veterans as participants, whether as the full study population or a subset, are positioned to receive higher priority during the programmatic review stage, meaning this factor can influence funding decisions beyond scientific merit alone.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the Department of the Army through USAMRAA, under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-13-PRORP-CTDA. Awards are made as grants and/or cooperative agreements (the listing includes both, indicating that some projects may involve a closer level of government involvement typical of cooperative agreements). It falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The program anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,200,000 across the competition. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning applicants from a broad range of organization types may apply (subject to any additional eligibility notes that may have been included in the full announcement).
Key dates show this as a FY13-era opportunity: it was posted and created on February 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2013, and an archive date of August 17, 2013.
