Established in 2000, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) has grown to become Australia’s leading independent body dedicated to funding national ovarian cancer research.

The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s core objective is to fund innovative ovarian cancer research to save women’s lives through early detection and personalised treatment. 

The OCRF directs your funds to the most innovative ovarian cancer research projects around Australia and New Zealand, with the greatest potential for impact. With your support this Frocktober, we are growing the funding pool available for our brightest scientists tackling ovarian cancer in the lab.

Early detection
