NEW YORK, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Claudia Cohen Research Foundation in association with the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) announced today that it will award an annual $50,000 prize to an individual in recognition of his or her outstanding contributions to research improving the care of women with gynecologic cancer. The awardees will have made important contributions that improve gynecologic cancer patient care, including early detection. The award will be made to the individual rather than his/her institution.
The prize named is being funded by the Claudia Cohen Research Foundation (CCRF) in honor of Claudia Cohen who lost her battle with uterine leiomyosarcoma in 2007. Ms. Cohen was a highly respected journalist and philanthropist. Individuals can apply for this prize or nominators can propose potential candidates by filling out the application form which is downloadable on the GCF Web site ( www.thegcf.org/research ). The deadline for applications is January 8, 2010.
The GCF Award's Committee will select the awardee with the first prize to be announced at the 2010 SGO Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer in San Francisco, California.
The Claudia Cohen Research Foundation was founded by Ms. Cohen's daughter, Samantha, and her sisters Caleigh and Debra Perelman, to foster research aimed at reducing the burden of gynecologic cancer.
About the Claudia Cohen Research Foundation
The Claudia Cohen Research Foundation is dedicated exclusively to support research leading to the immunological treatment, control, and prevention of gynecologic cancer with a special emphasis on gynecologic sarcoma.
Claudia Cohen Prize for Outstanding Gynecologic Cancer Research
The mission of The Claudia Cohen Prize for Outstanding Gynecologic Cancer Research is to develop leaders in cutting-edge research as it relates to gynecologic cancer with a special emphasis on but not exclusive to gynecologic sarcoma. Due to the paucity of research in the area of gynecologic sarcoma cancer, the foundation especially wants to encourage applicants with strong interest in that area. An annual prize of $50,000 will be awarded.
