CDMRP Ovarian Cancer Research Program: Clinical Translational Research Award for Correlative Studies

The Clinical Translational Research Award is intended to support correlative studies that are associated with a clinical trial. The translational research should address high-impact or unmet needs in ovarian cancer. Applications focused on the following OCRP priority are encouraged to apply:

*          Utilize precision medicine and computational approaches that identify individual tumor characteristics and predictive biomarkers across diverse groups to optimize patient care and outcomes

Although not intended to fund the operational aspects of clinical trials, this award supports research projects related to or associated with planned, ongoing, or completed clinical trials supported by other funding sources. Projects that develop clinical endpoints for clinical trials are also encouraged. The application must demonstrate availability and accessibility of the appropriate human subject population, specimens, or human-based resources. The application should also provide a detailed statistical analysis plan that includes a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will allow a meaningful outcome. Preclinical studies in animals are not allowed.
