About this opportunity

Orthopaedic injuries have a profound impact on military readiness and return to work/activity/duty. In the military, extremity battle wounds comprise approximately 50% of injuries reported in the Department of Defense Trauma Registry. Additionally, orthopaedic injuries and conditions that occur outside of combat ( during training, leisure activities, resultant from old injuries, etc.) present one of the greatest threats to the readiness of our Service Members and military. Early rehabilitation of orthopaedic injuries in both civilian and military populations have led to better outcomes, particularly in the prevention of secondary complications and in minimizing morbidity. Availability of orthopaedic care and treatment as early as possible, or as close to the point of injury as possible, also minimizes limb loss and affects military readiness. The PRORP is interested in supporting research that will have an impact on the lives of all individuals that have sustained a major musculoskeletal injury.The PRORP Clinical Trial Award supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the treatment or management of military combat or service-related orthopaedic injuries that significantly impact unit readiness and return to duty/work rates. Applicants are encouraged to address how the proposed research will support patient care closer to the point of injury and/or allow patients to more quickly return to duty/work. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials ( pilot, first in human, phase 0) to demonstrate the feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations.Applications to the FY23 PRORP Clinical Trial Award (CTA) mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for animal or preclinical studies. Applicants seeking support for preclinical research projects should consider one of the other FY23 PRORP program announcements being offered. Note: The FY23 PRORP CTA differs from the FY23 PRORP Clinical Translational Research Award (CTRA) in that the CTRA allows for clinical research projects, whereas the CTA is restricted to clinical trials only.A clinical trial is defined as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or behavioral health-related outcomes. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://cdmrp.health.mil/pubs/pdf/Human%20Subjects%20Resource%20Document.pdf.Studies that do not seek to measure safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy outcome(s) of an intervention are not considered clinical trials.All applications submitted to this program announcement, regardless of the selected Focus Area, are eligible for Research Level 1.Collaborative Care Option (Research Level 2): Applications submitted to the FY23 PRORP CTA Translation of Early Findings – Soft Tissue Trauma Focus Area are eligible for a Collaborative Care Option (Research Level 2; refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions). The Collaborative Care Option provides additional support to encourage collaborative interdisciplinary research among physical therapists, occupational other orthopaedic care providers. The proposed research should include both surgical and rehabilitation strategies that create a cohesive project. Surgical strategies are reconstruction and repair and/or application of devices for the purpose of restoration of native function of traumatically injured tissues. Rehabilitative strategies are those that restore function following injury or illness, with the goal of optimal health and independence.
