Objective
To fund clinical/translational research projects which will contribute to improving precision oncology in ovarian cancer. Treatments which may benefit women diagnosed with less common types of ovarian cancer (e.g. endometrioid, clear cell, low-grade serous, mucinous or non-epithelial) are encouraged.
Eligibility
Study principal investigator and co-applicants must hold a research position at a Canadian institution and be able to hold research funds at their institution. Study collaborators may be affiliated with institutions outside of Canada; however, cross-Canada collaborations are preferred, and all CRS-OCC/OvCAN funds must be spent in Canada.
How to Apply
York University researchers are reminded that all applications for external research funding, including Letters of Intent, must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Services before they are submitted to the granting agency. For internal approval, the application must be accompanied by a completed ORS Checklist, which requires the Dean’s signature. Please send the complete application, with the finalized budget and a completed ORS checklist to sciapps@yorku.ca, five days prior to agency deadline.
ORS is accepting electronic applications – the process is outlined here.
