Lustgarten Foundation: Innovation andCollaboration Research Grant
All Information
The Lustgarten Foundation's Innovation and Collaboration Program provides seed funding for innovative research that could substantially advance understanding, early detection, or treatment of pancreatic cancer. It prioritises research that investigates important unanswered questions, challenges existing assumptions, or brings new expertise and technologies into the field. Collaborative projects are particularly encouraged. International investigators may apply, making the programme a potential option for qualified Nigerian researchers based at universities, hospitals, or research institutions. The proposed research must have a clear, testable hypothesis and a defined goal that can be achieved during the grant period. This is a specialised research grant rather than general healthcare funding, so applicants need a strong background in pancreatic cancer research or a closely relevant research area.
