Lung Cancer Research FoundationLCRF Pilot Grant ProgramLung cancer continues to be the number one cause of cancer deaths worldwide, accounting for an estimated 130,180 deaths annually in the United States alone. Despite being the most common cancer killer of both men and women, lung cancer research remains critically underfunded. To help close this gap and improve outcomes, the goal of the 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. 2023 LCRF Leading Edge Research Grants will provide $150,000 over a period of two years for projects including but not limited to the following topics:
• 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
Investigators must be affiliated with a non-profit academic or research institution and must be post-doctoral researchers, clinical fellows, or early-career and mid-career investigators with less than ten years’ experience since their initial faculty appointment.

Applicants from US-based and international institutions are eligible to apply and may hold any residency/citizenship status. Senior investigators with more than ten years’ experience since faculty appointment are generally not eligible for funding and are encouraged to mentor a junior team member through the application process. However, exceptions will be made for investigators with more than ten years’ experience in other disease areas or topics. Ineligible investigators with these or other special circumstances may request review by contacting the LCRF grants office (see Inquiries section below).

National Institutes of Health (NIH)Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 - Independent Clinical Trial Required) PA-20-197In an effort to advance research relevant to the mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which includes basic biomedical, clinical biomedical, bioengineering, bioimaging, and behavioral research, the participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) encourage applications for the NIH Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25). The K25 mechanism is meant to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. Examples of quantitative scientific and technical backgrounds considered appropriate for this award include, but are not limited to: mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The NIH is especially interested in increasing the number of scientists trained to conduct high-quality research that combines insights derived from, and cuts across, different scientific, technical, and biomedical areas.Candidates for the K25 award must have an advanced degree in a quantitative area of science or engineering (e.g., MSEE, PhD, DSc). At the time of award, the candidate must have a “full-time” appointment at the academic institution. Candidates are required to commit a minimum of 75% of full-time professional effort.YSalary + expenses2023-06-12https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-20-197.html
