Opportunity Information: Apply for W81XWH 19 OCRP OCA
The DoD Ovarian Cancer Academy (OCA) Early Career Investigator Award is a Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) funding opportunity designed to build the next generation of ovarian cancer researchers by combining research support with a structured, high-touch career development experience. Rather than operating like a standard standalone grant, this award places selected junior faculty into a virtual "academy" that emphasizes intensive mentoring, collaborative networking across institutions, and participation in an organized cohort of peers working in ovarian cancer research. The central purpose is to help early-career investigators become highly productive, successful independent researchers within a supportive, interactive environment that actively promotes professional growth and scientific collaboration.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its academy model. Each Early-Career Investigator (ECI) participates alongside a Designated Mentor, and the broader program is guided by an Academy Dean and Assistant Dean. The academy functions as an ongoing research training and career development platform, with expectations that go beyond completing a proposed research plan. ECIs are expected to engage consistently with the academy community through monthly webinars and annual in-person or virtual workshops, maintain regular communication with other ECIs and leadership, and actively pursue collaborations and shared learning across institutional lines. The program also explicitly encourages engagement with the advocacy community, reflecting the DoD OCRP emphasis on connecting research priorities to patient and advocate perspectives.
The opportunity is offered by the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, through USAMRAA, and is listed under CFDA 12.420 (research and development). The funding mechanism includes both cooperative agreements and grants, signaling that awardees may have substantial interaction with the sponsoring program and academy leadership as part of carrying out the award. Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning a broad range of entity types may apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The original posting date for the referenced cycle was February 22, 2019, with an original closing date of July 31, 2019, and the program anticipated making about two awards in that cycle. The listed award ceiling in the extracted data is shown as 0, which typically means applicants need to consult the full solicitation for the actual budget limits, allowable costs, and project period details.
Beyond funding and training, the academy is structured to integrate ECIs into the larger ovarian cancer research ecosystem. Historically, academy participants have taken on visible professional roles such as presenting at ovarian cancer-focused symposia, chairing sessions, serving on symposium review committees, and acting as peer reviewers for DoD OCRP and other research funders. That track record communicates an additional aim of the program: to accelerate professional recognition and leadership development for early-career scientists, preparing them not only to produce strong research outcomes but also to contribute to the field through service, review, and community-building activities.Apply for W81XWH 19 OCRP OCA
