Description: The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research in the area of PDAC microenvironment with the ultimate goal of understanding the interaction between tumors and the microenvironment. The plan is to design new immunotherapy and combination interventions that would accommodate and build on the distinct characteristics of this interaction. It is expected that the interventions will lead to improved responses in pre-clinical models and clinical evaluation either in NCI-based early phase networks (ETCTN), or by industry or cancer centers.
