Announcing the 2027 Ovarian Cancer Research Grant

The ​SHOC Foundation is pleased to announce a new $50,000, one-year research grant supporting innovative research that advances our understanding, prevention, detection, and treatment of ovarian cancer.

We welcome creative, high-impact proposals across the spectrum of ovarian cancer research. Areas of particular interest include the relationship between endometriosis and ovarian cancer, including mechanisms of malignant transformation, biomarkers and early detection, prevention strategies, and novel therapeutic vulnerabilities.

SHOC is committed to supporting promising ideas that address important unanswered questions and have the potential to open new directions in ovarian cancer research.

For more information, please contact Dr. Tanja Pejovic.

SHOC Spring Soiree Highlight: A Story of Strength & Hope

One of the highlights of the SHOC Spring Soiree was Ann Werner sharing her story as an ovarian cancer survivor. If you missed seeing Ann in person, you can still watch the video about her. Many thanks to Michael Blake for creating the film.

Over the years, donations have provided and sustained a reliable source of funding to achieve our mission. Every dollar was invested in laboratory materials, analyses, and special genetic analyses services. Donations are making an impact, not only today, but for the countless number of women with gynecologic cancers in the future.

Help us continue this fight to find better treatments to save the lives of women with ovarian cancer.

Spread the word about ovarian cancer and its silent symptoms.    
     • Abdominal bloating, swelling, pelvic pain, pressure
       or discomfort
     • Nausea, loss of appetite
     • Unusual fatigue
     • Abnormal vaginal bleeding
     • Unexplained weight gain or loss
     • Frequent urination, constipation or diarrhea
 
Become a voice for the SHOC Foundation – spread the word about ovarian cancer, its facts and symptoms, by talking about it with the women in our lives.

Thank you for believing in the SHOC Foundation and what we are trying to do. We are not doing this alone, we are doing this with YOU! Join us in honoring those women battling ovarian or a gynecologic cancer and remember the courage of those whose lives have been lost to the disease.
