Department of Defense(DoD) Ovarian Cancer Research Program HBCU/MI Fellowship Award: The Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) HBCU/MI Fellowship Award supports a mentored training and research experience to prepare HBCU/MI doctoral-level faculty members for a productive career in ovarian cancer research.Key elements of this award are the involvement of a designated mentor having an established research program in ovarian cancer and the protection of the Principal Investigators (PIs) (HBCU/MI faculty member) time for research activities (at least 25% effort). The PIs protected time for research may be during the 9-10-month academic year, during the 2-3-month summer term, or a combination of these. Alternately, the research and training plan may be conducted during a sabbatical.The proposed fellowship should include both a training plan and a research project in ovarian cancer. The training plan should provide for acquisition of any needed skills, including laboratory and clinical techniques and grant-writing skills. These can be acquired through collaboration with the mentor and attendance at courses, workshops, and scientific meetings. The research plan should enable the PI to collect and analyze sufficient preliminary data to write an ovarian cancer research proposal, either as the lead investigator or as a collaborator. It is expected that the research will be performed at the mentors institution. No preliminary data are required in the proposal.FY07 HBCU/MI Fellowship awardees will be eligible to apply for future OCRP Career Development Awards if funding is available.
