Work with our foundation to make surviving ovarian cancer an ordinary outcome

Top of page

Since our establishment in May 2019, we have distributed €0.63 million (≈ SEK 6.8 million) towards ovarian cancer research, fueling the pursuit for earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments.

 

With a 90 account and a registered charity status, we proudly allocate 100% of our funds
to this crucial cause.  
 

Thanks to our generous donors, there has been a positive growth in the total grant sum.
In 2026, a total of 1 million SEK could be awarded.

 

Applications can be sent in between October 1st and December 15th. Download Application Docs

Review

The Scientific Secretary of the Swedish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (SFOG) is responsible for coordinating the assessment process. The Board of the Swedish Ovarian Cancer Network (SweOCRN) is responsible for the medical review of all applications received and makes a recommendation to the Foundation’s Board regarding the allocation of grants.

Grants

Decisions about allocation of funds will be made by 30 April. 

 

The number of grants awarded can vary. One grant per year is awarded to a junior researcher (max 5 years since PhD at the
