What the grant funds

The PRORP CTRA is intended to support high-impact and/or new/emerging clinical research that may or 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, Veteran, and all patients with orthopaedic injuries. • One goal of the FY21 PRORP CTRA is to translate current and emerging techniques and interventions into the clinical space to better serve military patients. The health, functional abilities, and quality of life of individuals who have sustained an orthopaedic injury should be considered. • Another goal is to identify the most effective diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention options available to support critical decision-making for patients, clinicians, other caregivers, and policymakers. The FY21 PRORP CTRA differs from the FY21 PRORP Clinical Trial Award (CTA) in that the CTRA allows for clinical research projects, whereas the CTA is restricted to clinical trials only. Applications to the FY21 PRORP Clinical Translational Research Award mechanism must support clinical research and may not be used for animal research. The proposed studies may be interventional and may involve some retrospective data analysis. Note that purely retrospective or database-related research is not allowed under this funding opportunity. Small pilot clinical trials with human subjects are allowable. Clinical research is defined as: (1) patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues that cannot be linked to a living individual. Patient-oriented research includes: (a) mechanisms of human disease, (b) therapeutic interventions, (c) clinical trials, and (d) development of new technologies; (2) epidemiologic and behavioral studies; and (3) outcomes research and health services research. Note: Studies that meet the requirements for Institutional Review Board (IRB) review Exemption 4 are not considered CDMRP-defined clinical research. IRB Exemption 4 refers to research involving the collection or study of existing de-identified specimens or data, if these sources are publicly available.
