Liz Tilberis Scholars

Liz Tilberis Scholars Program

Launched in December 2000, this program is OCRF’s signature research initiative. Mid-level researchers (post doctoral/post fellowship) compete for unparalleled opportunities to develop techniques for early diagnosis and improved care of women with ovarian cancer. Each scholar will receive a three-year grant of $150,000 per annum so they are able to devote their time exclusively to cutting-edge ovarian cancer research. The program honors OCRF’s late president, Liz Tilberis, whose tremendous efforts and boundless energy brought OCRF to new heights of excellence.
