Description

The FY26 Pancreatic Cancer Research Program (PCARP) Translational Research Partnership Award supports partnerships among clinicians, population scientists, applied scientists, and basic scientists to accelerate promising pancreatic cancer research toward clinical applications. The partnership must include at least one member with expertise in pancreatic cancer research or patient care and address at least one FY26 PCARP Focus Area. The award requires preliminary data supporting the feasibility of the research hypothesis and approaches, allowing retrospective tissue analysis, correlative studies, and pilot clinical trials but not large-scale clinical trials. Two Principal Investigators are required: an Initiating PI who submits a pre-application and both PIs who submit full applications. Applications may be withdrawn if either application is rejected or withdrawn.
