The Department of Defense (DoD) offers this grant to support high-impact translational research in ovarian cancer. This award aims to maximize the utilization of existing human-based ovarian cancer resources, such as biorepositories, tissue banks, epidemiological data, and large ‘omics’ datasets. Many valuable resources remain confined, leading to duplication of effort and wasted funds. This grant encourages investigators to leverage these pre-existing, expensive-to-generate resources, addressing unmet needs and accelerating scientific discovery. By making these assets broadly available, the DoD seeks to significantly benefit the wider ovarian cancer research community, fostering innovation and efficiency.

| Description: | The OCRP Translational Leverage Award mechanism supports the leveraging of existing human-based ovarian cancer resources in translational research to address high-impact research ideas or unmet needs in ovarian cancer. Many ovarian cancer resources are confined to investigators� labs where they were first developed and are not always available for use by others. Often, resources are not leveraged for maximum use beyond the original source, and as a result, investigators expend time and money to duplicate those resources. This award mechanism is focused on leveraging existing human-based resources that will ultimately benefit ovarian cancer research. These existing resources are expensive to generate, maintain, and make available to other investigators, but they may have broad applicability across many different types of research questions. Examples of human-based resources include, but are not limited to, biorepositories of clinical specimens, existing tissue banks, epidemiological resources, clinical databases, laboratory expertise, large transcriptome or proteome datasets, and databases of clinical data and/or metadata. |
