The Division of Gynaecologic Oncology is pleased to announce the recipients of the inaugural Research Awards. This funding is to support research on gynecologic cancers.
These grants are for up to $20,000, are one time only (i.e. non-renewable), and are designed to provide critical review, with rapid turn-around and constructive feedback, and funding for projects that would not be eligible to receive funding at the national level.

Janice Kwon, Gillian Hanley, Sophie Sun, Intan Schrader: Should BRCA mutation testing be available to all first-degree relatives of ovarian cancer patients?
We were delighted with the high caliber of proposals put forward. The recipients are a mix of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology faculty and residents as well as co investigators from the Departments of Medicine, Medical Oncology and Medical Genetics.
