    Summary

    Applications to the Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17) Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) are being solicited for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) J9, Research and Development Directorate, by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) using delegated authority provided by United States Code, Title 10, Section 2358 (10 USC 2358). As directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD[HA]), the DHA manages the Defense Health Program (DHP) Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation. The execution management agent for this Program Announcement is the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP).
     
    This FY17 Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is soliciting additional Early-Career Investigators to join the existing Academy. This award mechanism enables the Early-Career Investigator (the Principal Investigator [PI] on the application) 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.

    The OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy, which was initially created in FY09, is a unique, interactive virtual academy providing intensive mentoring, national networking, and a peer group for junior faculty. The overarching goal of the Ovarian Cancer Academy is to develop successful, highly productive ovarian cancer researchers in a collaborative research and career development environment.
