For most of our existance, The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance focused research advocacy efforts on securing federally appropriated ovarian cancer research funding. This has resulted in multiple millions $$ being dedicated to ovarian cancer research through the National Cancer Institute, which funds most cancer research in this country. We recently began funding private research, utilizing the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation grant selection committee to refer worthy but unfunded projects to us. None of the current projects is specifically for rare ovarian cancer types. We have recently connected the GCT-NZ to this process.
It was my honor and privilege to speak at the conference. The expereience has ignited in us an interest in greater collaboration. Working together with other ovarian cancer charities to create greater synergy is a core value of ours.
