DoW, Ovarian Cancer, Pilot Award
Funds innovative pilot research on ovarian cancer that could shift current thinking or approaches and is open to blinded pre-applications before full review.
⚑ Blinded pre-application: do not identify PI, collaborators, or organization in the pre-app. · Innovation is required; strong science without innovation does not meet the mechanism intent.
Unit fits — one characterization, each unit's own rules
| IPPRA | 58 good | peripheral portfolio topic: public_health; social/behavioral work is minor; funds applied research; biomedical core — IPPRA health lane is communication/crisis/policy (capped); clinical-trial/biomedical core — IPPRA angle is policy/community (capped) |
| Physical Sciences & Engineering (demo) | 55 good | technical depth: minor; funds applied research |
| Tom Love Innovation Hub | 30 weak | funds applied research; deep-tech content |
Description
Summary: The Ovarian Cancer Pilot Award supports research that expands or modifies current thinking about and/or approaches in ovarian cancer, exploring innovative concepts or theories in ovarian cancer that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive the field forward.
Distinctive Features: Innovation is key. Research projects that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovation do not meet the intent of the mechanism. Preliminary data are not required but are allowed for this mechanism.
This mechanism includes a blinded pre-application component. Pre-applications to this funding opportunity will undergo a blinded pre-application screening. While preparing your pre-application, do not include any material that may identify the PI, a collaborator, or the organization of the PI or collaborator.
