DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Ovarian Cancer 
 Research Program (OCRP) Awards. The OCRP Pilot Award supports the explorat
 ion of innovative concepts or theories in ovarian cancer that could ultima
 tely lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive th
 e field forward. The proposed research must demonstrate a clear focus on o
 varian cancer and serve as a catalyst to expand or modify current thinking
  about and/or approaches in ovarian cancer. To foster research with potent
 ial to yield new avenues of investigation\, preliminary data are not requi
 red\, but are allowed. Research projects should include a well-formulated\
 , testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale\; however\, app
 lications that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovatio
 n do not meet the intent of the Pilot Award.  The outcome of research sup
 ported by this award should be the generation of robust preliminary data t
 hat can be used as a foundation for future research projects. Clinical tri
 als will not be supported by this award mechanism.\nFunding:        
 max. $250’000\n\nDuration:      2 years\n\nEligibility: Investigator
