About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command is soliciting applications for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program Translational Research Partnership Award, with a full application deadline of October 7, 2026, and approximately $6.60 million expected to fund approximately six awards of up to $1.10 million each over three years. Applicants must be partnerships of at least two Principal Investigators (an Initiating PI and Partnering PI), with at least one holding expertise in pancreatic cancer research or patient care; postdoctoral fellows and clinical fellows are ineligible. Eligible applicant categories include extramural and intramural U.S. Department of War organizations, foreign and domestic organizations, and for-profit and nonprofit entities. Cost sharing is not required.
Applications must address at least one of seven FY26 focus areas: early detection, risk identification, supportive care and survivorship, metabolic disruption, tumor development, therapeutic response biomarkers, and new therapeutic targets. This award mechanism requires preliminary data supporting research feasibility and allows retrospective tissue analysis, correlative studies, and pilot clinical trials; large-scale clinical trials are prohibited. Only the Initiating PI submits a pre-application (due July 7, 2026) with abbreviated full applications from both PIs following invitation notification on August 13, 2026. Peer review occurs in December 2026 and programmatic review in January 2027, with awards anticipated by September 30, 2027.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 12.420, Military Medical Research and Development, managed by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs through the Defense Health Agency. Applications are evaluated through a two-tier process assessing technical merit, military relevance, and program alignment. Direct costs may support multidisciplinary collaboration travel, researcher attendance at one scientific meeting per year, and research subject compensation for study-related expenses.
Synopsis
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Pancreatic Cancer Research Program (PCARP) Translational Research Partnership Award supports partnerships between clinicians, population scientists, applied scientists and/or basic scientists that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in pancreatic cancer toward clinical applications. The partnership must include at least one member with expertise in pancreatic cancer research or pancreatic cancer patient care. All applications must address at least one of the FY26 PCARP Focus Areas.
· This award mechanism requires preliminary data to support feasibility of the research hypothesis(es) and research approaches. However, these data do not necessarily need to originate from studies of pancreatic cancer. Applications can support retrospective tissue analysis, correlative studies and pilot clinical trials; however, this mechanism does not allow large-scale clinical trials.
· The Translational Research Partnership Award requires two Principal Investigators (PIs) referred to as the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI. Only the Initiating PI will submit a pre-application, but both PIs will need to submit at the full application stage. The partnering PI's application is an abbreviated package specific to their distinct portion of the research project. Be advised, all associated applications for a research project may be withdrawn if the initiating or partnering application is rejected or administratively withdrawn.
