Lustgarten Foundation: Therapeutic Discovery in Pancreatic Cancer - Concept Proposals

Collaborative or individual concept proposals directed towards novel in vitro screening approaches to identify promising therapeutic combinations for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The goal of this initiative is to identify promising therapeutic combinations using high throughput assays. A focus on compounds that are closest to clinical trials is preferred although broad screens using both clinical and tool compounds will be considered. Funding: Three years is the max. award period that will be considered and proposals that achieve their goals in shorter time-frames will be favored. Since the nature and scope of each research proposal will vary, it is anticipated that the size of individual awards will vary accordingly. Prospective applicants are asked to submit, by 21.11 a concept proposal (up to 1000 words) that identifies the goals, techniques and experience of the laboratories proposing the research.
