DoD Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Research Program

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $750,000.
Purpose: The FY23 PRORP ARA seeks applied research applications focused on advancing optimal treatment and restoration of function for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries sustained during combat and service-related activities. Applicants are encouraged to address how the proposed research will support patient care and allow patients to more quickly return to duty/work. It is expected that any research findings would also provide benefit to the general population. To meet the intent of the award mechanism, applications must specifically address an FY23 PRORP ARA Focus Area.
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI.
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to hold independent positions.
Timeline:
REQUIRED Pre-Application (Pre-Proposal) Deadline: June 15, 2023 via eBrap
Please include your RPM’s name as business official in the pre-application.
Institutional representative (RPM/RMG or CGO/OSR) Deadline:  September 6, 2023
Application Submission Deadline: September 13, 2023 via grants.gov
Guidelines: https://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/prorp

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an will not exceed $2.5M (Research Level 1) or $3.0M (Research Level 2).
Purpose: The PRORP Clinical Trial Award supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the treatment or management of military combat or service-related orthopaedic injuries that significantly impact unit readiness and return to duty/work rates. Applicants are encouraged to address how the proposed research will support patient care closer to the point of injury and/or allow patients to more quickly return to duty/work. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials (e.g., 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. 
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI.
Not eligible: Instructors, Clinical Instructors, Academic staff-research (i.e., research associates), and postdocs are not eligible for this RFP because Stanford does not consider them to hold independent positions.

Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $1.5M.
Purpose: The PRORP Clinical Translational Research Award (CTRA) is intended to support high-impact and/or new/emerging clinical research that may not be ready for a full-scale randomized controlled clinical trial. Projects should demonstrate potential to impact the standard of care, both immediate and long-term, as well as contribute to evidence-based guidelines for the evaluation and care of military, Veterans, and all patients with orthopaedic injuries.
