Description:
The objective of this AGA Research Foundation Research Scholar Award (RSA) is to support early-career investigators working toward independent and productive careers in pancreatic cancer research by ensuring that a major proportion of their time is protected for research (i.e., a minimum of 75 percent effort dedicated to the proposed project). The award will support junior faculty (not fellows) who have demonstrated exceptional promise and have some record of accomplishment in research.
