This grant is for research units to join the Pancreatic Cancer Detection Consortium, focusing on early detection of pancreatic cancer and its precursors. The goal is to develop and test new biomarkers for early detection and identify high-risk patients for early intervention. The research will involve multi-disciplinary teams working on molecular and imaging biomarkers, machine learning, and building a biorepository.
Who it's for: This grant is for a wide range of entities, including public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, tribal governments and organizations, various levels of government (county, state, city), nonprofits, for-profit organizations, and even individuals.
