In 2025, in partnership with our generous donors and supporters, three research grants have been awarded totaling $612,000. Grantees were selected through a peer-review process. One grant was awarded to an investigator for support of his early detection strategies for higher-risk populations. Two young scientists were awarded fellowships to fuel their early career and their pancreatic cancer research.
