1) Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity No.: W81XWH-12-PRORP-CTA)
 
Objective

• To support the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on military combat-relevant orthopaedic injuries. The clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies.

• To support translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in orthopaedic research into clinical applications to benefit Warfighters with combat-relevant traumatic orthopaedic injuries.
• To encourage multi-institutional, multidisciplinary research partnerships among two or three investigators (designated as partners) to accelerate the movement of promising research hypotheses into clinical application in a manner that would be less readily achievable through separate efforts.

• To promote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield highly impactful data and new avenues of investigation.
• To support conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress in the clinical care of combat-related orthopaedic injuries.

ORS Submission Policy
York University researchers are reminded that all applications for external research funding, including Letters of Intent, must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Services before they are submitted to the granting agency. For internal approval, the application must be accompanied by a completed ORS Checklist, which requires the Chair’s and Dean’s signatures.

To ensure that the approved application is ready by the agency deadline, a complete application folder must be submitted to the ORS ten (10) working days prior to final submission date.
