    FY24 PCARP Academic Statement.pdf
    FY24.pdf
    The document pertains to the Fiscal Year 2024 Pancreatic Cancer Research Program under the Department of Defense's Defense Health Program. It primarily serves as an Academic Statement for Early Career Investigators, providing a framework for documenting academic performance when traditional transcripts are unavailable. Key details include the investigator's earned degree, completion date, overall grade point average (GPA), and additional academic achievements. An official from the investigator's previous academic organization must certify the accuracy of the provided information. This statement is critical within the context of federal grants and RFPs, ensuring that the academic credentials of emerging researchers are recognized even in cases where formal documentation is absent. The focus on early career investigators aligns with broader government efforts to support new talent in critical research areas, emphasizing the commitment to advancing cancer research.
