Early Career Investigator Grant
(Formerly Liz Tilberis Early Career Award) Launched in December 2000, the Early Career Investigator Grant is for junior faculty (Assistant Professor level) with a strong commitment to an investigative career in ovarian cancer research. Each grantee will receive a three-year grant of $150,000 per year.
Mentored Investigator Grant
(Formerly Ann and Sol Schreiber Mentored Investigator Award) The Mentored Investigator Grant provides funding for trainees (post-doctoral fellows or clinical fellows) who are working under the supervision of a mentor who is a recognized leader in the field of ovarian cancer research. Applicants must have an MD or a PhD degree. The grant provides a total of $75,000 to be used over one or two years, and will encourage the recipient’s research career in the field of ovarian cancer.
Individual Investigator Award
From 1998 – 2007, OCRF offered Individual Investigator Awards to advance outstanding early career researchers whose projects focused on early detection, screening, and basic translational research. These $100,000 grants were intended to yield results within two years or less. The ultimate aim of the program was to enable investigators, with promising results in hand, to obtain grants from the National Cancer Institute or other large funding agencies.
