Description
The Mentored Scientist Award in Diseases of the Pancreas is a UCSF mentoring and training grant for eligible trainees and research personnel at UCSF or affiliated partner institutes. Administered through the Resource Allocation Program (RAP), it supports clinical or basic research directly related to pancreatic diseases and pancreatic cancer. Priorities include understanding pancreatic cancer biology and improving early detection and treatment. Diabetes research unrelated to pancreatic cancer is not supported.
The award helps investigators acquire preliminary data and research skills for future grant efforts, including successful NIH applications. Faculty mentors oversee project planning, direction, and execution throughout the research period. Investigators with clinical, basic, behavioral-epidemiological, implementation, or health disparities research backgrounds are welcome to apply.
