LCRF Research Grant on Leading Edge Research Grant Program

the goal of the 2023 LCRF Leading Edge Research Grant Program is to fund innovative projects across the full spectrum of basic, translational, clinical, epidemiological, health services, early detection, disparities, and social determinants of health research.

The following topics are of interest:

• Lung cancer biology
• Risk reduction and screening for early detection
• Identification of new biomarkers
• Development of more effective and less toxic therapies including but not limited to targeted and immune-therapies
• Genetic and gene-environment interactions
• Interactions and contributions of multiple factors (e.g. smoking, genetics, environment, societal factors) to disparities in lung cancer outcomes
• Mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to lung cancer therapies
• Bioengineering approaches to understanding and/or treating lung cancer (i.e., theranostics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, controlled-drug release, and gene-therapy)
• Supportive measures for people with lung cancer and their families
• Identification of metabolic vulnerabilities in lung cancer
