Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and AACR award research grants totaling nearly $3 million

Date:3/25/2011

ORLANDO, Fla. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the American Association for Cancer Research awarded 10 grants to outstanding scientists throughout the country, supporting their innovative research in the field of pancreatic cancer. This year's total funding level of nearly $3 million represents the largest annual disbursement since the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network introduced the program in 2003. The recipients will be honored at a recognition event scheduled during the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held April 2-6, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

"These grants are crucial to promoting ongoing impactful pancreatic cancer research," said Margaret Foti, Ph.D., M.D. (h.c.), chief executive officer of the AACR. "They encourage both young and experienced researchers to collaborate in an effort to make innovative breakthroughs to beat this devastating disease."

"This year's grants program marks a significant milestone over $10 million in research funding awarded by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network since our program's inception eight years ago," stated Julie Fleshman, President and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. "As we work to double the survival rate for pancreatic cancer by 2020, we are committed to building a comprehensive and coordinated pancreatic cancer research community to speed the acquisition of knowledge, share information and move findings into practice. We look forward to partnering with this talented group of new grant recipients."

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network-AACR Pathway to Leadership Grants are five-year grants totaling $600,000 each. These grants are designed to support the future leadership of pancreatic cancer research by funding outstanding early-career investigators beginning in their postdoctoral, mentored research positions and continuing through their successful transition to independence. The 2011 recipients are:
