The Anita Unruh Prize
In 2016, the Anita Unruh Prize was established by Patrick McGrath in honour of his wife, a former associate dean and professor. The Prize rewards excellence in trainee research on ovarian cancer and encourages trainees to establish careers in research related to this disease. Offered biennually, this is a peer-reviewed prize for a published paper that both focuses on ovarian cancer and has a trainee as first author. Applications from trainees of all levels and disciplines will be considered.
Award
The Unruh Prize is comprised of $5,000 in addition to registration and travel for the 2020 Canadian Conference on Ovarian Cancer Research in Ottawa, where the prize will be presented. The applicants must be willing to have their information publicized and plan to attend the entire conference.
Eligibility
This competition is open to all trainees doing research on ovarian cancer
