The Rivkin Center is announcing funds for Scientific Scholar Awards to be allocated based on scientific merit. Scientific Scholar Awards are intended to assist promising laboratory and clinical scientists in pursuing a career as an independent investigator in ovarian cancer research. The two-year awards will provide a total of $120,000 in funding. Funds are for direct costs only; institutional overhead and indirect costs will not be included in the award.
Applicants must budget at least half of each year’s award for their own salary support, including fringe benefits. Applicants may budget remaining funds for materials, supplies, consumables, travel costs for scientific meetings, and other expenses as justified. Budget and budget justification must be included with the application.
