The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network-AACR Innovative Grants represent a joint effort to promote and support innovative pancreatic cancer research. They aim to spur creative and cutting edge ideas and approaches in pancreatic cancer research, including those successful in other areas of cancer that have justifiable promise for pancreatic cancer. The research proposed for funding may be basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological in nature and must have direct applicability and relevance to pancreatic cancer. These grants are available to independent junior and senior investigators. Submissions will be accepted from pancreatic cancer researchers as well as researchers with experience in other areas of cancer research. The Grants provide $200,000 over two years ($100,000 per year) for direct research expenses, which may include salary and benefits of postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, and or research assistants; research or laboratory supplies; and equipment.
