## What the grant funds

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-related orthopaedic injuries or non-battle 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 feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials, through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations. The FY21 PRORP CTA differs from the FY21 PRORP Clinical Translational Research Award (CTRA) in that the CTRA allows for clinical research projects, whereas the CTA is restricted to clinical trials only. Applications to the FY21 PRORP Clinical Trial Award mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for animal or preclinical studies. A clinical trial is defined as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or behavioral health-related outcomes. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://cdmrp.army.mil/pubs/pdf/Human%20Subjects%20Resource%20Document.pdf. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider one of the other FY21 PRORP program announcements being offered. All applications submitted to this program announcement, regardless of the selected Focus Area, are eligible for Research Level 1. Rehabilitation Option (Research Level 2): Applications submitted to the FY21 PRORP CTA Translation of Early Findings – Soft Tissue Trauma Focus Area are eligible for a Rehabilitation Option (Research Level 2; refer to Section II.D.5. Funding Restrictions). The Rehabilitation Option provides additional support to encourage collaborative interdisciplinary research among physical therapists, occupational therapists, prosthetists, surgeons, and other orthopaedic care providers.
