Ovarian cancer action's response mode funding is currently fully committed. In 2008/9 we will be focussing new research expenditure on the expansion of the Ovarian cancer action Research Centre, based at Imperial Hammersmith, the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden Hospital. Consequently there will not be a response mode grants round in 2008. An announcement on the timing of the 2009 grants round will follow.
