Description
The Foundation for Women's Cancer (FWC) offers this grant through its 2026–2027 Research Grants Call for Applications, in the Multi-Type Gynecologic Cancer Grants category. It supports fellows and physicians demonstrating success in gynecologic oncology as they launch careers as physician-investigators. Funding provides protected nonclinical research time and research-related support for cervical or endometrial cancer studies, helping recipients generate preliminary data and advance toward independent investigation.
Research addressing health equity, disparities in cancer outcomes, and improved quality of care for all patients is particularly encouraged. The grant was established in memory of Wendy R. Brewster, MD, PhD, a national leader, mentor, and advocate in gynecologic oncology whose legacy informs its equity-focused priorities.
