Grants of up to $100,000 are awarded to gynaecological cancer researchers to pursue innovative concepts that may lead to a future ANZGOG study.
Ovarian cancer research program – OASIS funding signal seeking studies – A signal-seeking clinical trial is like sending out a scouting party to map the terrain ahead. These trials are nimble and responsive to new information, showing the way forward for the main group. Professor Michael Friedlander, AM ANZGOG Co-Founder
