The Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network works to increase research funding for pancreatic
cancer. We aim to fund innovative research, grow the
number of researchers directly working on this disease, foster collaboration
across disciplines and institutions, and act as a facilitator in
the research community to expedite scientific progress that benefits
patients.
In 2003, the Pancreatic
Cancer Action Network began funding Career Development Awards for
pancreatic cancer research. These grants provide research
funding at a critical time in a researcher's career, allowing the
scientist to develop his or her research data and use this data
to apply for larger federal grants. Furthermore, the Career
Development Award encourages scientists to remain working in the
field of pancreatic cancer.
In addition to Career
Development Awards, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network began funding
innovative ideas through Pilot Grants in 2007.
While we provide direct
support to researchers, we also work to increase the research dollars
for pancreatic cancer from the federal government through our public
policy efforts.
