What the grant funds

“It is the policy of my Administration to advance women’s health research, close health disparities, and ensure that the gains we make in research laboratories are translated into real-world clinical benefits for women. It is also the policy of my Administration to ensure that women have access to high-quality, evidence-based health care and to improve health outcomes for women across their lifespans and throughout the country.” – President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Executive Order 14120 on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation, 18 March 2024. In support of the President’s Executive Order to advance women’s health research, the PRORP is releasing this WHRA funding opportunity. The intent of the FY24 PRORP WHRA is to support research focused on orthopaedic issues faced by women serving in military settings, such as infantry and other physically demanding roles, who have sustained orthopaedic injuries. The overall goal of the WHRA is to address factors that contribute to the health and retention of women in military service. Although use of military populations, datasets, or samples are not required, the application should demonstrate how the proposed research relates to issues faced by women serving in military settings. The proposed research project should also include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on sound scientific rationale and logical reasoning. Although the PRORP is interested in supporting military-focused research, research supported by the PRORP is expected to also apply to all individuals who have sustained a major orthopaedic injury. The PRORP encourages applications from a spectrum of research areas, including but not limited to translational and clinical research. The PRORP also welcomes qualitative research, population science, and health care services research specifically designed to understand the impact of orthopaedic injuries on female Service Members. With the initiation of the Arthritis Research Program, the FY24 PRORP may not fund arthritis research; however, research that addresses conditions or health abnormalities related to arthritis is permitted provided the proposed research addresses the PRORP WHRA’s focus on orthopaedic injuries in women. A key feature of the PRORP WHRA is the relevance to female military and/or Veteran populations following orthopaedic injury. Inclusion of female military and/or Veteran populations is highly encouraged for applications proposing clinical research.
