Programs
The Rivkin Center Scientific Grant Program
THE RIVKIN CENTER'S SCIENTIFIC GRANT PROGRAM USES A SEED FUNDING APPROACH THAT LAUNCHES PROMISING NEW RESEARCH AND RESEARCHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. FOR THE 2023 FUNDING PERIOD, THE RIVKIN CENTER FULFILLED THE SECOND YEAR OF FUNDING FOR TWO SCHOLAR AWARDS BUT PAUSED NEW GRANTS FOR ONE YEAR TO HELP A BUDGET STILL RECOVERING FROM THE PANDEMIC. OVARIAN CANCER IS UNDERFUNDED BY FEDERAL FUNDING AGENCIES WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER CANCERS, DESPITE IT STILL HAVING NO UNIVERSAL SCREENING TOOL AND BEING THE DEADLIEST GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER. FOR EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED BY THE RIVKIN CENTER, OUR AWARDEES, ON AVERAGE, LEVERAGE ANOTHER $17.30 FROM OTHER FUNDING SOURCES TO FURTHER THEIR OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$216.7KRivkin Center Education Program on Cancer
