The project should advance the research group’s scientific objectives while helping the trainee build a career dedicated to ovarian or related gynecologic cancers.
The program supports laboratory, clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research.

OCRA also encourages cancer control and population sciences projects, such as studies of risk and outcomes, survivorship, and health services.
