Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Awards. The OCRP Pilot Award supports the exploration of innovative concepts or theories in ovarian cancer that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive the field forward. The proposed research must demonstrate a clear focus on ovarian cancer and serve as a catalyst to expand or modify current thinking about and/or approaches in ovarian cancer. To foster research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation, preliminary data are not required, but are allowed. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale; however, applications that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovation do not meet the intent of the Pilot Award. The outcome of research supported by this award should be the generation of robust preliminary data that can be used as a foundation for future research projects. Clinical trials will not be supported by this award mechanism.
Funding: max. $250’000
Duration: 2 years
Eligibility: Investigators at the level of postdoctoral fellow or clinical fellow (or equivalent) and above may be named by the organization as the Principal Investigator (PI) on the application.
