Mary Kay Ash Foundation: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (ovarian, uterine, breast or cervical cancer)

The Mary Kay Ash FoundationSM, a funding source for cancer research, is currently accepting applications for innovative grants for translational research for cancers affecting women, including but not limited to ovarian, uterine, breast and/or cervical cancer.

The Mary Kay Ash Foundation is a non-profit public foundation, which focuses on funding research for innovative grants for translational research in ovarian, uterine, breast or cervical cancer.

Translational research is broadly defined as research that will provide a scientific link between laboratory research and the clinic. Ultimately, such research would lead to improvement in diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, or treatment of the cancer.

Grants will be awarded in the amount of $100,000 over a two-year period.

- Grants are by invitation only.
- One grant application will be accepted from each accredited cancer research institute or medical school. It is up to each institute to conduct an internal review process to determine their applicant. No exceptions.
