DoD Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes, Clinical Trial Award
The FY18 OPORP CTA mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY18 and challenges the scientific community to address which orthotic and prosthetic devices, and which characteristics of those devices, generate the best patient outcomes.
Outcomes-focused research is used to support evidence-based
practice, which guides providers in the optimization of care to those with limb loss and/or limb impairment.
It is expected that research findings will have relevance to Service members and Veterans and also provide benefit to the general population.
Applications involving multidisciplinary collaborations among academia, industry, the military Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and other Federal Government agencies are highly encouraged.
The FY18 OPORP CTA is intended to support clinical trials that evaluate orthotic and/or prosthetic devices using patient-centric outcomes relevant to Service members and Veterans with limb loss and/or limb impairment.
The FY18 OPORP CTA is focused on outcomes-based best practices through analysis of prosthetic and/or orthotic device options that are currently available, and not on the development of a new technology or the improvement of an existing technology.
The intent of the award is to generate clinically useful evidence that will enhance and optimize patient outcomes.
