Description:
NEW for FY10, the OCRP Translational Pilot Award mechanism supports innovative translational research addressing a critical problem or question in ovarian cancer that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas toward clinical applications.
The proposed research should provide a catalyst to challenge or expand current thinking and/or approaches to ovarian cancer. It must involve early-stage translation of an idea from the laboratory to the clinic, or from the clinic back to the laboratory. Observations that generate a translational pilot research idea may be derived from a laboratory discovery, literature review, population-based studies, novel findings from a clinical trial, or a clinician’s firsthand knowledge of patients and anecdotal data. Preliminary data are not required, but are allowed. The strength of the proposal should be based on sound scientific rationale and logical reasoning.
