Description

Summary: The Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Investigator-Initiated Research Award is intended to support high-impact research that addresses a critical need and has the potential to make an important contribution to ovarian cancer or patient/survivor care.

Distinctive Features: Application must contain strong research plan with sound scientific rational and logical reasoning. Preliminary data are required. Research projects may focus on any phase of research, from basic laboratory research through translational research, excluding clinical trials.

Partnering Principal Investigator (PI) Option: The Partnering PI Option is structured so that two investigators, each of whom will be designated as a PI, will work synergistically on a single project. The results of this partnering project should significantly advance the research beyond what would be possible through individual efforts.
