Career Development Award

About this program

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network offers Career Development Awards—two‑year grants of $200,000 each—to attract and support junior faculty at academic and medical institutions and to advance research into the prevention, detection, biology, and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Awards fund independent, career‑building research projects that address key scientific or clinical questions in pancreatic cancer. Eligible applicants are early‑career investigators (junior faculty) affiliated with an academic or medical institution and must present a focused pancreatic cancer research plan with institutional support and a clear career development trajectory.
