Description: |
The Marsha Rivkin Center Scientific Scholar Award is intended to assist promising laboratory and clinical scientists in pursuing a career as an independent investigator in ovarian cancer research. Research funding for ovarian cancer is comparatively low, which discourages talented laboratory scientists and physicians from directing their careers toward ovarian cancer. The Scientific Scholar Award provides the funds for the best and brightest minds to have an opportunity to begin a career in ovarian cancer research. Applicants should submit a proposal to the Rivkin Center including a cover letter, mentor?s statement(s), career development plan, scientific proposal on Rivkin-modified PHS 398 forms (see below), and a 100-word lay abstract to be published for a non-scientific audience. |

Established, outstanding scientists without prior focus in ovarian cancer but looking to focus in this disease area are also encouraged to apply.
Applicants may budget salary support (up to 50% of the awarded amount), materials, supplies, consumables, travel costs for scientific meetings, and other expenses as justified.
