By supporting OCC, you are creating a future where ovarian cancer is preventable, curable, and ultimately eradicated.
OCC convenes leading minds in the field of ovarian cancer research and provides the necessary resources to enable discoveries.
Just 25 years ago, there were only three scientists dedicated to the study of ovarian cancer. Through OCC’s efforts, the ovarian cancer research community is 250+ and growing.
Science requires collaboration to make the greatest impact and cannot be approached in silos.
Our Community is Unique
We only fund research that will best benefit the community and make the greatest impact
We implement a combination of standard competitive processes and collaborative, strategic decision-making
We foster innovation and allow for freedom of discovery
