10 Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation Leadership in Ovarian Cancer Research How we are making an impact in ovarian cancer The OCRF relies heavily on expertise in ensuring that research which has the greatest chance of success is supported and sustained over time. All applications for the OCRF Grant Scheme undergo a rigorous process to determine the most promising and innovative applications - so that we continue to successfully pursue greater survivability rates and quality of life for women and girls impacted by ovarian cancer. The grant applications are considered and assessed by our Scientific Advisory Committee, which comprises International and Australian experts appointed by our Committee of Management. Applications are also reviewed for relevance, translation, and consumer engagement by our Consumer Representative Panel, a group which brings together those affected by ovarian cancer. These recommendations for funding are reviewed and finalised by the OCRF Committee of Management which includes financial and legal experts. Every woman, everywhere – free from the threat of Ovarian Cancer.
