2. Priorities: Applications are encouraged that address areas of need in ovarian cancer research, including early detection, examination of early events in tumor initiation, novel therapeutics, and examination of mechanisms of chemoresistance. A Scientific Review Group will be appointed to assess the scientific merit of each proposal. Priorities will be given to proposals with translational applicability in which data generated will lead to R01-level grants or proposals within Program Project or SPORE grants.

 

3. Grant details: It is anticipated that 2-3 grants up to a maximum amount of $50,000 for a one-year period will be awarded. Awards will cover direct costs only. Anticipated activation date is November 1, 2011.
