About this opportunity

The OCRP Clinical Development Award is intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications, including quality of life.The goal of this award mechanism is to accelerate the clinical introduction of medical products and technologies that target ovarian cancer biology. Near-term clinical impact is expected. Proof of concept demonstrating the potential utility of the proposed product or a prototype/preliminary version of the proposed product should already be established; thus, preclinical studies in animals are not allowed. Small-scale clinical trials (Phase 0, Phase 1), studies enriching a clinical trial, and projects related to or associated with ongoing or completed clinical trials are allowed. Relevant data, either published or unpublished, that support the study rationale are required. Important aspects of the application to the FY18 OCRP Clinical Development Award:• The application should demonstrate availability of, and accessibility to, a suitable human subject population or anatomical samples that will support a meaningful outcome for the study. Include a discussion of feasibility of the proposed study and how accrual goals will be achieved.• The application should demonstrate documented availability of, and accessibility to, the drug/compound, device, and/or materials needed. • The proposed study should include clearly defined and appropriate endpoints. • The application should include a detailed statistical analysis plan, including a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the study. • Applications must also include a transition plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the result will progress to the next level of development ( future clinical trials, delivery to the military or civilian market) after the completion of the OCRP award. Optional Nested Early-Career Investigator: For Principal Investigators (PIs) that are proposing clinical trials, this FY18 Clinical Development Award mechanism is offering an optional nested Early-Career Investigator to foster the next generation of ovarian cancer investigators in the conduct of clinical trials. One Early-Career Investigator can be named within a given application, and the Early-Career Investigator must be within 5 years of their last postdoctoral research position or clinical fellowship or equivalent at the full application submission deadline. The Early-Career Investigator must meet specific eligibility criteria as described in Section I.C, Eligibility Information. Applications that contain a nested Early-Career Investigator will qualify for a higher level of funding as described under Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions. The PI on the Clinical Development Award must mentor the nested Early-Career Investigator.All projects should adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of preclinical research. The standards are described in Landis, et al., A call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research, Nature 2012, 490:187-191.The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service beneficiaries, and/or the American public.The anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY18 OCRP Clinical Development Award will not exceed $600,000, and the anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY18 OCRP Clinical Development Award with an optional Early-Career Investigator will not exceed $800,000. Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information.
