Uniting Against Lung Cancer Request for Proposals: Legacy Program for Advances in Lung Cancer Research

Uniting Against Lung Cancer Request for Proposals: Legacy Program for Advances in Lung Cancer Research Deadline: August 14, 2013 Uniting Against Lung Cancer announces funding opportunities for research aimed at improved treatment and a cure for lung cancers. Last year, Uniting Against Lung Cancer funded over $1.4 million in research; we look forward to increasing our support this year. The Foundation is prioritizing novel ideas with potential to make a significant impact on current treatment of lung cancer and patient survival, adding years rather than months. We have placed high priority on funding research that has a clear path to clinical application and/or therapeutic development. Proposals for basic science are greatly aided by a forward-looking research plan outlining clinical potential. UALC funding is intended primarily as seed money for promising and potentially transformative new projects, rather than funding projects that already receive considerable support. Cross discipline collaborations are strongly encouraged. Proposals do not require large amounts of preliminary data, but must have a clear hypothesis and research plan to be completed within the two year grant term. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -- Novel projects with potential to cure lung cancers -- Genetic subsets of lung cancer / personalized medicine -- Primary and secondary drug sensitivity / resistance -- Lung cancer in never-smoker...
