Project Purple, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering the fight against pancreatic cancer, is launching the Pancreatic Cancer Research Recovery Support Grant. The initiative provides up to two years of bridge or rescue funding for promising pancreatic cancer research projects that were disrupted due to administrative funding policy changes at major federal agencies such as the NIH, the Department of Defense, or the National Science Foundation.
NIH’s new “unified grant funding policy,” is “not political,” NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said during his remarks at Research!America’s annual National Health Research Forum Sept. 17.
