Apply for a Grant

The 2010 Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Grants Program offers new and expanded funding opportunities for pancreatic cancer research. Nine grants totaling nearly $2.3 million will be awarded. This represents the largest annual dollar amount disbursed since the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network introduced the program in 2003, and reflects an almost 90% increase in funding since last year.

The goals of the Research Grants Program emphasize the urgent need to expedite scientific and medical breakthroughs that benefit patients, build a cadre of researchers dedicated to the field, and encourage collaborations, information-sharing and innovation. Importantly, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network not only provides financial support for research but has created a mentor program to maintain ongoing involvements with grantees to help leverage their funding and enhance their career development. The grants program will once again be administered through the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) to ensure a rigorous peer-review system.

The 2010 grants program application deadline has passed. Decisions are expected Spring 2010.

Please check back in Summer 2010 for information about the 2011 grants program.
