Description
This award, a collaboration between the Lustgarten Foundation and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), honors John Robert Lewis and aims to support early career faculty-level scientists conducting innovative research on pancreatic cancer. Projects may be in basic, translational, clinical, or population sciences and must be directly relevant to the understanding, detection, diagnosis, or treatment of pancreatic cancer. The program particularly encourages applications from investigators from historically underrepresented groups and provides opportunities for grantees to network and collaborate within the AACR and Lustgarten Foundation research communities.
