DoD Pancreatic Cancer Research Program
Idea Development Award
Amount of funding: Direct costs budgeted will not exceed $500,000.  Direct costs budgeted with a Partnering PI Option for Early-Career Investigator will not exceed $650,000.
Purpose:  The PCARP Idea Development Award supports the development of innovative, high-risk/highreward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress in improving outcomes for individuals with pancreatic cancer. This award mechanism is designed to support innovative ideas with the potential to yield impactful data and new avenues of investigation. 
Eligibility: For Single PI applications: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI. For application submissions under the Partnering PI Option for Early-Career Investigator: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the Initiating PI (mentor). By the full application submission date, the Partnering PI (Early-Career Investigator) must:
- Have completed at least 3 years of postdoctoral training or medical residency program.
- Be no more than 7 years from the receipt of a terminal degree (excluding time spent in residency or on family medical leave) at the time of the application deadline.
- Demonstrate at least 50% of protected time for the proposed research that would be supported by this award

DoD Pancreatic Cancer Research Program
Translational Research Partnership Award
Amount of funding: Direct costs budgeted will not exceed $750,000.  
Purpose:  The FY20 PCARP Translational Research Partnership Award supports partnerships between clinicians and research scientists that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in pancreatic cancer toward clinical applications. This award supports the development of translational research collaborations between two independent investigators to address a central problem or question in pancreatic cancer in a manner that would be less readily achievable through separate efforts. One partner in the collaboration must function as a research scientist and the other partner as a clinician investigator. It should be clear that both have had equal intellectual input in the design of the research project. Multi-institutional and multi-discipline partnerships are strongly encouraged. 
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI. One partner in the collaboration must function as a research scientist and the other as a clinician investigator. At least one member of the partnership must have expertise either in pancreatic cancer research or pancreatic cancer patient care
