The American Association for Cancer Research and The Lustgarten Foundation, the world's largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, created two $300,000 research awards to support pancreatic cancer research. The awards honor the legacy of former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and 17-term Georgia Rep. John Robert Lewis, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2020.
The awards are meant for early-career pancreatic cancer researchers, and submissions are currently being accepted. The first, inspired by Ms. Ginsburg, will be given to an early-career female researcher and the second, honoring Mr. Lewis, will be given to a pancreatic cancer researcher from an underrepresented minority group.
