Summary
Summary: Initially created in FY09, the OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy (OCA) is a unique, interactive virtual academy providing intensive mentoring, national networking, collaborations, and a peer group for junior faculty. The overarching goal of the OCA is to conduct innovative and impactful ovarian cancer research while developing successful, highly productive ovarian cancer researchers in a collaborative research and career development environment.
Distinctive Features: The OCA is a virtual career development and research training platform that consists of Early-Career Investigators (ECIs), their Designated Mentors, and an Academy Dean and Assistant Dean. The OCA-ECI Award is not a traditional career development award; the ECI is expected to participate in monthly webinars and annual workshops and to communicate and collaborate with other members of the Academy (other ECIs, Mentors, the Dean and Assistant Dean) as well as with the advocacy community.
