Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) offers the Health Equity Research Grant through its Schreiber Research Grants Program. The grant supports scientific projects that advance equity and inclusivity in ovarian cancer or related gynecologic cancer research. Its goal is to build evidence for addressing barriers faced by marginalized communities and improving access to high-quality care and outcomes.
Projects may investigate social, cultural, or economic contributors to disparities; access to diagnosis and treatment; differences in disease progression or survival; or genetic and molecular factors underlying disparities. OCRA considers scientific merit, originality, and potential impact, with particular attention to creative work that can generate meaningful data.
