LCRF Research Grant on Prevention and Early Detection in Lung Cancer 2025 (up to $150,000) – YOA

Deadline: March 3, 2025

Applications are open for the Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) Research Grant on Prevention and Early Detection in Lung Cancer 2025. Given the importance and want for early detection of lung most cancers and developments in molecular screening, LCRF continues to provide a funding mechanism to help analysis tasks that facilitate or advance the understanding and characterization of approaches for early detection of lung most cancers. Work supported via this mechanism addresses vital questions in non-small cell and small cell lung most cancers.

This funding mechanism is concentrated on figuring out, characterizing, and creating approaches and strategies that can permit early detection and/or threat discount of lung most cancers and gaining perception into pre-neoplastic processes in the lungs. The final aim is to detect lung most cancers on the earliest phases and subsequently enhance survival and survivorship. The program is designed to help early-stage researchers and college throughout the first 10 years of their college appointment. While this listing is just not unique, common areas of curiosity embrace:  

• Improvements in threat stratification of sufferers and uptake for screening
• Identification and characterization of latest biomarkers for NSCLC and SCLC
• Development of predictive, diagnostic, or prognostic biomarkers
• Liquid biopsy assays and associated strategies
• Genomic and histological approaches to enhance early detection in tissue samples
• Novel imaging and computational modalities to establish and threat stratify pre-neoplastic lesions
• Implementation science with systematic uptake of proof-based mostly analysis findings into routine practices to enhance high quality and effectiveness of well being companies for early detection
• Studies of pre-neoplasia and development to lung neoplasia to inform prevention methods
• Development of pathways to enhance uptake and utilization of lung most cancers screening
• Epidemiology research to establish threat elements and implementation of prevention measures
• Development of any new applied sciences that can support in figuring out early-stage lung cancers

Grant

• The most award quantity is $150,000 for a interval of two years (disbursed at $75,000 per yr).

Eligibility

• Investigators should be affiliated with a non-revenue educational or analysis establishment and should be publish-doctoral researchers, medical fellows, or early-profession and mid-profession investigators with lower than ten years’ expertise since their preliminary college appointment.
• Applicants from US-based mostly and worldwide establishments are eligible to apply and might maintain any residency/citizenship standing.
• Applicants are prohibited from making use of if they’ve obtained funding from the LCRF throughout the final 4 years.
• Senior investigators with greater than ten years’ expertise since college appointment are typically not eligible for funding and are inspired to mentor a junior workforce member via the application course of. However, exceptions will probably be made for investigators with greater than ten years’ expertise in different illness areas or subjects.

Application

Applications will probably be submitted via a two-step course of consisting of a Letter of Intent (LOI) and full proposal. Applicants whose LOI submission is reviewed favorably will probably be invited to full a full proposal. Applicants might solely apply for one LCRF grant per grant cycle.
