Grant Description

The intent of the OCRP Teal Innovator Award is to support the recruitment of a visionary individual from any field principally outside of, but not exclusive of, ovarian cancer to focus his/her creativity, innovation, and leadership on ovarian cancer research. This individual must have experience in guiding a research team and demonstrate that he/she is committed to investigating paradigm-shifting ideas in ovarian cancer. The Teal Innovator Award will provide the Principal Investigator (PI) with the funding and freedom to pursue his/her most novel, visionary, high-risk ideas that could significantly impact the field of ovarian cancer research or patient care. The proposed Teal Innovator must be highly recognized in his/her field and present evidence of this recognition. Examples include, but are not limited to, recognition at the level of endowed chair, membership in the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, or Institute of Medicine, or other national or international recognition. The proposed Teal Innovator may be from diverse organizations including, but not limited to, academic institutions, government agencies, the private sector, small businesses, biotechnology companies, and/or professional societies.
