Opportunity Summary:
The Orthopaedic Extremity Trauma Research Program (OETRP) is a Department of the Army funding opportunity focused on improving clinical care for extremity injuries that are relevant to military operations. The program is specifically looking for proposals that will run prospective, multi-center clinical trials, with randomization of treatments strongly preferred whenever it is feasible and ethically appropriate. The intent is to generate high-quality evidence that can directly inform practice for the kinds of complex limb injuries seen in service members, including those treated in military treatment facilities.
A central feature of this announcement is that it plans to fund a single, large consortium rather than multiple independent projects. The consortium is expected to include enough participating clinical sites and sufficient patient volume to reliably enroll participants and complete rigorous clinical trials. Because the research must be military-relevant, proposals need to clearly connect the study questions, patient population, injury mechanisms, and care pathways to military extremity trauma. In practical terms, this means the research cannot be purely civilian in scope; cooperation with, and inclusion of, capable military hospitals is described as a requirement, not an optional partnership element.
The award mechanism is expected to be a cooperative agreement, which signals that the government will have substantial involvement during the project rather than acting only as a passive funder. In this case, the US Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) is designated to serve as the technical lead. The funded consortium would work in partnership with USAISR to help set research priorities and execute the studies. The announcement also notes that study designs and specific studies may be modified after award, reflecting a more adaptive, collaborative approach where protocols, trial selection, and operational details can be refined as the partnership develops and as emerging needs or feasibility considerations become clearer.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-09-OETRP and falls under the science and technology / research and development activity category. The agency is the Department of the Army through USAMRAA, and the associated CFDA program number is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The anticipated total funding is approximately $14,000,000, with an expectation of one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement.
Key dates provided in the announcement include a posted date of March 20, 2009, an original closing date of May 1, 2009, and a revised/current closing date of May 15, 2009, with an archive date of May 31, 2009. For applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Kathryn McCune, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-619-1354, identified as the OETRP point of contact.
