Announcing the 2026 Research Grant Awards

We are pleased to announce the research grant awards for 2026! The recipients of these one-year grants represent a diverse portfolio of ovarian cancer research projects that span early detection, novel therapeutics, survivorship, and equity.

Through these awards, SHOC proudly invests in innovative science, translational discovery, and the next generation of women investigators - advancing our mission to improve outcomes for individuals affected by ovarian cancer.

Over the years, donations have provided and sustained a reliable source of funding to achieve our mission and Dr. Pejovic’s objectives. 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 Dr. Tanja Pejovic, 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.
