Description

This award supports innovative, high-impact research projects that advance the understanding, early detection, and treatment of diseases of the pancreas, with a strong focus on pancreatic cancer, especially pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Both basic and clinical research proposals are considered, provided they directly address pancreatic diseases. The program is designed to foster preliminary work that can lead to major external funding and improved patient outcomes. Proposals related to diabetes that are not connected to pancreatic cancer are not eligible.
