Research

Investing in cutting-edge research to prevent, detect, and treat ovarian cancer, a deadly and underfunded disease.

Over $15.8 Million
to ovarian cancer researchers since 1999
232 Research Grants Funded
in areas of Prevention, Early Detection, Treatment, Survivorship
Large Applicant Pool

115 applicants each year for the past 5 years

15x Return on Investment

Rivkin-funded scientists receive 15x in new funding from other institutions after Rivkin’s initial investment

Our current funding rate is 8%, meaning we are leaving important science on the table. We want to see funding rates increase to 15% in two years.
