DoD Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes, Clinical Trial Award

archived

The FY20 OPORP Clinical Trial Award (CTA) is intended to support the implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on improving the health and well-being of Service members, Veterans, and other individuals with limb loss and/or limb impairment. This award mechanism 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. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials to demonstrate feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials, through large-scale trials in relevant patient populations. Alternate research designs (e.g., 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.
