DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Ovarian Cancer 
 Academy Early-Career Investigator Award. This award mechanism enables the 
 Early-Career Investigator to pursue an ovarian cancer project that may be 
 basic\, translational\, and/or clinical research under the guidance of a D
 esignated Mentor. The Designated Mentor is not required to be at the same 
 institution as the Early-Career Investigator. Applications from Early-Care
 er Investigators whose ability to commit to conducting ovarian cancer rese
 arch is limited by minimal resources or a lack of resources are particular
 ly encouraged\, such as: a qualified Designated Mentor at his/her institut
 ion\, access to ovarian cancer research tools\, opportunities for establis
 hing collaborations\, or other overwhelming obstacles. Preliminary data to
  support the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approache
 s are required\; however\, these data do not necessarily need to be derive
 d from the ovarian cancer research field. The Early-Career Investigator\, 
 who will be the PI of the application\, must be in the early career stage.
  This award provides the Early-Career Investigator with funding\, networki
 ng and collaborative opportunities\, and research experience necessary to 
 develop and sustain a successful\, independent career at the forefront of 
 ovarian cancer research.\n \nThe OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy Early-Career
  Investigator Award is not a traditional career development award\; the Ea
 rly-Career Investigator is expected to participate in monthly webinars and
  annual workshops\, and to communicate and collaborate with other members 
 of the Academy (Early-Career Investigators\; other Mentors\; Dean\; Assist
 ant Dean) as well as with the advocacy community.\n \nFunding: Maximum US
 D $725’000\n \nEligibility: Applicants from international organizations
  or institutions are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship rest
 rictions. Applicants must be independent investigators within 3 years of t
 heir last postdoctoral position or equivalent.\n \nHow to Apply: Pre-appl
 ications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain con
 tact information\, a list of collaborators and key personnel\, a letter of
  intent\, and a list of potential references as suggested on the platform.
