Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (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 Designated Mentor. The Designated Mentor is not required to be at the same institution as the Early-Career Investigator. Applications from Early-Career Investigators whose ability to commit to conducting ovarian cancer research is limited by minimal resources or a lack of resources are particularly encouraged, such as: a qualified Designated Mentor at his/her institution, access to ovarian cancer research tools, opportunities for establishing collaborations, or other overwhelming obstacles. Preliminary data to support the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approaches are required; however, these data do not necessarily need to be derived 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, networking and collaborative opportunities, and research experience necessary to develop and sustain a successful, independent career at the forefront of ovarian cancer research.
The OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy Early-Career Investigator Award is not a traditional career development award; the Early-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; Assistant Dean) as well as with the advocacy community.
Funding: Maximum USD $725’000
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Applicants must be independent investigators within 3 years of their last postdoctoral position or equivalent.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a letter of intent, and a list of potential references as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.
Pre-Application Deadline: 25 July 2018, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)
Full Application Deadline: 08 August 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 09 Aug, CET)
