Description
The Pilot Award for Diseases of the Pancreas supports UCSF investigators pursuing clinical or basic research directly related to pancreatic diseases associated with pancreatic cancer. Offered through UCSF’s Resource Allocation Program (RAP), the Pancreas Center funding emphasizes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and projects addressing early detection and treatment. Research may focus on disease biology, early diagnosis, treatment, or prevention.
The program encourages innovative pilot projects that improve diagnosis and treatment and can lead to successful future NIH grant applications. Review considers scientific quality, significance to pancreatic disease research, and the quality and promise of the investigator and research team. Projects must be feasible within a one-year funding period.
