Opportunity Summary:
The FY09 Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Research Program (PRORP) Idea Development Award is a Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) funding opportunity designed to back bold, high impact orthopaedic research that can move the field forward rather than simply extend what is already known. It is positioned as a science and technology research and development program (CFDA 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development) and is intended to generate meaningful advances in orthopaedic medicine, with a clear emphasis on problems that matter in military settings.
A central requirement of this award is demonstrated military benefit. Proposals are expected to directly and significantly improve the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of combat relevant orthopaedic injuries. In practical terms, applicants need to connect their research aims to real challenges faced by service members, such as musculoskeletal trauma and its complications, recovery after severe limb injuries, and other orthopaedic conditions that arise from or are common in combat and operational environments. The program is looking for work that makes an important and original contribution to the combat relevant orthopaedic research space, not just strong general orthopaedics that happens to be loosely applicable.
Another defining feature is innovation, and the announcement sets a fairly high bar for what counts. The program is explicitly interested in research that introduces a new paradigm, challenges current assumptions, or approaches persistent problems from a fresh angle. Innovation can show up in several ways: the core concept of the study, the methods used, the technology applied, or creative adaptations of existing methods and technologies to solve military orthopaedic problems more effectively. At the same time, the announcement is clear about what it does not want: incremental advances that simply build modestly on previously published work are not considered innovative for this mechanism. In other words, applicants are expected to propose ideas that feel like they could change the direction of the field if successful, rather than projects that mainly add another data point.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-09-PRORP-IDA and used either a grant or a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type. The program anticipated making around six awards, supported by an estimated total funding level of approximately $3.7 million. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to a wide range of applicant organizations or entities, subject to any clarifications in the full text of the announcement.
Key dates for the FY09 cycle included a posted and creation date of July 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 17, 2009, and an archive date of December 17, 2009. For applicant support, the announcement provided contact points for assistance accessing the announcement and for electronic submission help through the CDMRP help resources (PA HELP at 301-619-7079 or cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil, and eReceipt/CDMRP Help Desk support at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org).
