American Lung Association – Lung Health Dissertation Grant
Research is crucial to a future where lung disease no longer threatens the health of our families and friends. To help Americans live longer, healthier lives, we must find better methods of detection, treatment and cures for all lung diseases. For over 100 years, The American Lung Association has supported research to achieve this goal and we continue to fund, develop, promote and advocate for research and programs that will result in lifechanging advances for people impacted by lung disease. The goal of the American Lung Association Awards and Grants Program is to fund researchers at important crossroads of their careers, gaining a long-term commitment to lung disease research.
