LCFA’s Young Investigator Grant Program

LCFA’s grant criteria is laser-pointed at research projects focused on improving the care and treatment of individuals with lung cancer.

By funding their early research years, LCFA provides them the opportunity to stay focused on lung cancer throughout their careers.

We know the benefits of receiving this significant funding early-on. For example, researchers can amass data that attracts further funding for their projects from organizations like the National Institutes of Health.
