LCRF Leading Edge Research Grant Program 2025 (up to $150,000) – YOA

Deadline: March 3, 2025

Applications are open for the LCRF Leading Edge Research Grant Program 2025. Lung most cancers continues to be the primary reason for most cancers deaths worldwide, accounting for an estimated 130,180 deaths yearly within the United States alone. Despite being the commonest most cancers killer of each women and men, lung most cancers analysis stays critically underfunded.

To assist shut this hole and enhance outcomes, the aim of the Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) Leading Edge Research Grant Program is to fund modern initiatives throughout the complete spectrum of fundamental, translational, scientific, epidemiological, well being providers, early detection, disparities, and social determinants of well being analysis.

The 2025 LCRF Leading Edge Research Grant Program will present $150,000 over a interval of two years for initiatives together with however not restricted to the next matters:

• Lung most cancers biology
• Identification of latest biomarkers
• Machine studying and digital pathology
• Development of more practical and fewer poisonous therapies together with however not restricted to focused and immune-therapies
• Genetic and gene-setting interactions
• Interactions and contributions of a number of elements (e.g. smoking, genetics, setting, societal elements) to disparities in lung most cancers outcomes
• Mechanism of Antibody Drug Conjugates
• Novel approaches to immunotherapy corresponding to bispecific antibodies, vaccines, mobile therapies, and so forth.
• Bioengineering approaches to understanding and/or treating lung most cancers (i.e., theranostics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, managed-drug launch, and gene remedy)
• Supportive measures for individuals with lung most cancers and their households, corresponding to palliative care and telemedicine
• Identification of metabolic vulnerabilities in lung most cancers

Grant

• These awards present a most of $150,000 in funding over a interval of two years.
