Description
Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) offers the Early Career Investigator Grant through its Schreiber Research Grants Program. It supports junior faculty on a path toward independence by providing substantial time for research and academic work in ovarian cancer or related gynecologic cancers. The proposed project must focus on ovarian cancer or have clear, direct relevance to it.
The grant is intended to help investigators develop research of sufficient depth to compete for further funding. OCRA gives particular consideration to creative, original projects with promise for early detection, prevention, treatment, or translational research. Clinician scientists are encouraged to apply.
