Hirshberg Foundation Seed Grant Program

The Hirshberg Foundation Seed Grant program has been extremely successful in providing research support to basic and clinical scientists and investigators in the United States and overseas. The goals of the Seed Grant Program are:
+To provide start-up funding for basic scientists and clinicians who intend to test innovative ideas for improving diagnosis and to develop new treatment modalities for pancreatic cancer.
+To obtain preliminary data required for additional funding from other agencies for pancreatic cancer research.
+To impact on the understanding of pancreatic cancer cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, morphology and response to therapy.
+To establish collaborations within the field for mutual projects that can be considered for further funding.
Collaborative Seed Grant
As the scientific goals of the Foundation progress and evolve, we created a new funding opportunity. Our Collaborative Seed Grant is designed to encourage joint projects with two principal investigators. The two investigators may be at the same institution but must be independent. The Hirshberg Foundation is committed to the belief that collaboration amongst the world’s leading researchers will lead us to a cure for this disease.
