Pathway to Leadership Grant

About this program

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, in partnership with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), offers Pathway to Leadership Grants: five‑year awards totaling $600,000 to support mentored research, career‑enrichment activities, and the transition to research independence and leadership in pancreatic cancer. The program funds highly promising postdoctoral and clinical research fellows to conduct mentored pancreatic cancer research and develop independent investigator skills. Applicants must be in a postdoctoral or clinical fellowship stage, propose a mentored research and career‑development plan aimed at achieving research independence, and satisfy program‑specific application and eligibility requirements set by PanCAN and AACR.
