Event Details

Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC) is gearing up to launch a province-wide competition – open to all clinical and scientific researchers studying ovarian cancer (OC) in Saskatchewan – to fund the most innovative and impactful projects and initiatives with the greatest potential to benefit OC patients in the province. Areas of focus will include translational research, clinical trials, and patient access to treatment and care.

Projects of all types, at all stages of research, and throughout the OC continuum (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship) are eligible to apply. In line with OCC research principles, meaningful engagement with patients as research partners – throughout the planning and implementation of the project – is required.

Join us on October 1 at 7:00 p.m. CT to learn more about application criteria, competition guidelines, and to ask any questions about this funding opportunity.

This free event will be hosted on Zoom.  A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. You can submit your questions in advance to mfallis@ovariancanada.org
