The American Lung Association, with its longstanding commitment to lung health and disease prevention, seeks to support researchers and scientists to generate knowledge that can inform public policies and interventions, and promote healthier indoor environments.

This application welcomes individuals at any stage of their research, including early‐career individuals receiving mentorship, as well as independent, self directed researchers. The grant funding will be $100,000 per year for Independent Researchers and $50,000 per year for Mentored Researchers. Both awards will be offered for up to three years. Applicants seeking either the mentored award or the independent award follow the same application process.

Grants are subject to annual review; awarding the second and third years of support will be based on demonstrating satisfactory progress, as well as the availability of funds from the Lung Association. The review committee will give careful consideration of the requested budget, requiring a comprehensive explanation and justification for salary and all other items. Grant funds may also be used for the salary and fringe benefit costs of personnel other than the Applicant.
