Young Investigator Research Grants in Lung Cancer
17-June-2009

The National Lung Cancer Partnership is pleased to announce our 5th annual research grant competition. This year, four, 2-year $100,000 awards are available to clinical and basic science fellows and junior faculty to advance their research in lung cancer etiology, prevention, early detection, treatment, and symptom management. Three grants will be co-funded with the LUNGevity Foundation, with the assistance of Genentech and sanofi-aventis, and one grant will be funded by the North Carolina Lung Cancer Partnership.

The purpose of these awards is to drive forward research that will increase understanding of lung cancer risk, biology, and response to treatment, in an effort to fulfill the Partnership’s mission of decreasing deaths due to the disease and helping patients live longer and better lives.

At the time of application, an applicant must hold a doctoral degree (MD, PhD, DO, DrPH, or equivalent), and be a post-doctoral fellow or within the first 5 years of a faculty appointment at a not-for-profit institution in the United States or Canada. Applications addressing sex differences in lung cancer are particularly encouraged. Applicants will be judged on the merits of their research proposal, career development plan, and research environment.

For complete application eligibility and instructions for the awards, please visit the National Lung Cancer Partnership’s website.  The application deadline is September 8, 2009. Awards will be announced on or before January 1, 2010.
