Description
Clinical Trial Award
The OCRP Clinical Trial Award mechanism supports the rapid execution and analysis of clinical
trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the treatment or management of ovarian
cancer. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic
agents (drugs, biologics or medical devices), clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches
and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials (i.e., 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.
Ovarian Cancer Academy – Early-Career Investigator Award
The intent of the Ovarian Cancer Academy – Early-Career Investigator Award (OCA-ECI) is to
solicit additional ECIs to join the existing OCA. This award mechanism enables the ECI (the
investigator named as the PI on the application) to pursue an ovarian cancer project that may
involve basic, translational and/or clinical research.
Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial Academy – Early-Career Investigator Award
The intent of the Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial Academy – Early-Career Investigator Award
(OCCTA-ECI) is to enhance knowledge within next generation of ECIs in clinical trial research
and to produce effective treatments and cures for ovarian cancer. The OCCTA enables the ECI
(the investigator named as the PI on the application) to pursue funding for ovarian cancer
clinical trial research under the guidance of a Designated Mentor. Because of the early-career
nature of the PI, clinical trials initiated or collaborated with during the award period of
performance are anticipated to be led by the Designated Mentors. Beyond research, OCCTA
ECIs will be expected to participate in monthly webinars and annual workshops; and to
communicate and collaborate with other members of the OCCTA (other ECIs, Mentors, Dean,
Assistant Dean) as well as with the advocacy community.
