In 2023, MOCA provided five grants to Minnesota-based researchers for ovarian cancer research projects totaling $450,000. In 2023, MOCA awarded two grants of $100,000 each to two national researchers for early detection research projects. With funds raised by the Any Mountain trek to Mt. Everest, MOCA provided $10,000 each to 4 national cancer centers to expand access to an ovarian cancer surgical prevention trial.
