Grant Description

The OCRP recognizes the critical need for improved human-based resources to advance the field of ovarian cancer research. Consequently, the Resource Development Award has been established to support product-driven research aimed at developing well-annotated tools for use by the ovarian cancer research community to facilitate research in this disease. Specifically, this includes either developing a human-based resource or increasing the utility of an existing human-based resource. For example, human-based resources include, but are not limited to, biorepositories of clinical specimens, existing tissue banks, large transcriptome or proteome datasets, and databases of clinical data and/or metadata. Applicants must clearly articulate how the proposed resource addresses a high-impact opportunity or an unmet need in ovarian cancer research. Applicants should also explain why this human-based resource would be superior to existing resources, methodologies, or techniques.
