National Breast Cancer Foundation: Ovarian and Breast Cancer Research Collaboration Initiative
The OCRF is proud to announce, in partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), that we are again offering the opportunity for researchers to apply for the ovarian and breast cancer research collaboration initiative. The total funding available is AUD$1 million over 3 to 5 years which will fund one or two research projects.
The goal of this funding opportunity is to tackle and answer the most critical clinical questions affecting women diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, with the potential to transform the clinical management of these conditions by delivering high impact patient outcomes significantly faster than existing funding mechanisms. Proposed research projects must span both breast and ovarian cancer to be eligible.
APPLICATIONS FOR THIS SCHEME HAVE NOW CLOSED.

AUSTRALIAN CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION: PERSONNEL SUPPORT FUNDING
The OCRF is pleased to be working in collaboration with the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) to enhance cancer research capacity in Australia. ACRF provides grants for scientific equipment and other technologies as well as the establishment of capital works and facilities in support of all aspects of cancer research via their Annual and Major Grant schemes. OCRF is offering personnel support to any ACRF Annual or Major Grant which has a focus on ovarian cancer research.
ACRF grant applications are assessed annually by their Medical Research Advisory Committee (MFAC), comprising esteemed Australian and international cancer researchers and clinicians who volunteer their time. The MRAC ensures that the most promising and impactful cancer research initiatives in Australia are recommended to the ACRF Board of Trustees to receive funding. The OCRF Committee of Management reviews and approves any additional funding to be provided to these grants by the OCRF in line with our vision, mission and research priorities.
