Provides funding for trainees who are working under the supervision of a mentor who is a recognized leader in the field of ovarian cancer research.

1. Applicants must be clinical fellows (Gynecologic Oncology, Medical Oncology) or post-doctoral
fellows. Candidates for this program must have an M.D. or Ph.D. degree.

2. Applicants must be working in institutions with well-developed ovarian cancer research
programs, in a school of medicine or public health, or a recognized non-profit scientific research
facility.

3. Applicants should be involved in either laboratory, clinical, or epidemiology research. The
research leader who will serve as the mentor should have significant independent ovarian
cancer research funding (NCI, DOD, etc.).

4. The selection committee will consider the strength of the research environment and project
proposal, the trainee’s prior academic track record, and the likelihood of his/her pursuing a
research career dedicated to ovarian cancer. The research plan proposed should have sufficient
scientific depth to potentially lead to publication of results in high quality journals. Ideally, the
project proposed should be one that the trainee’s mentor believes will advance the overall
scientific objectives of the group.
