Clinical Trial Award – HT9425-23-OPORP-CTA
- up to USD$400,000 over 3 years (RL1) or USD$4M over 4 years (RL2)
- Letters of intent due 27 June 2023
- Supports rapid implementation of clinical trials with potential to have a significant impact on improving the health and well-being of Service Members and military beneficiaries, Veterans, and other individuals with limb loss and/or limb impairment.
- Supports clinical trials that evaluate orthoses and/or prostheses using patient-centric outcomes for the purpose of generating clinically useful evidence to enhance and optimize patient outcomes.
- Alternate research designs (eg pragmatic and practice- based evidence trials) that provide evidence for adoption of tested orthotic and/or prosthetic devices in real-world clinical practice and inform clinical or policy decisions are particularly encouraged.
- preclinical studies using animals are not allowed
- must address at least one strategic goal
2023 OPORP Strategic Goals
- optimize patient-specific technology prescription
- optimize patient-specific rehabilitation regimes
- support standardized assessment of patient outcomes related to prosthetics and orthotics
