Applications are now open for the 2025 Nancy McKinstry Trainee Excellence Award Competition!
Established through the Nancy McKinstry Endowment Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research, this award honours Nancy’s determination to give back to the ovarian cancer community by supporting the next generation of researchers.
Three awards of $5,000 each will recognize outstanding ovarian cancer research trainees in B.C. New to the 2025 competition, we are pleased to share that this funding opportunity is now open to both graduate trainees and postdoctoral fellows to support a broader range of early-career researchers. Of the three awards, two will go to graduate students (Master’s, PhD, or MD-PhD) and one to a postdoctoral fellow.
