2012 RESEARCH GRANTS
The application deadlines have passed for the 2012 research grants program. Over $3.7 million in research funding will be awarded this year. This represents the largest annual dollar amount disbursed since the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network introduced its research grants program in 2003.
The grants program is designed to help incubate innovative research projects, grow the number of researchers directly working on pancreatic cancer, nurture collaborations across disciplines and institutions, and expedite scientific progress for patient benefit. In addition to receiving financial support for their research, grantees participate in a mentorship program that connects them with leading scientists in the field. Ongoing career support activities offer opportunities for education and professional development. As a result, our community of researchers stays committed and involved.
The grants program is administered in partnership with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) to ensure a rigorous peer-review system. Applications are reviewed by panels of top experts in the field of pancreatic cancer, using a NIH-based evaluation criteria and scoring system. Funding decisions will be available March 2012. The grant term begins July 1, 2012.
For additional information, contact Rhonda Aizenberg, PhD, at raizenberg@pancan.org or 310-725-0025.
