LUNGevity Foundation Career & Research Awards
Supports lung disease innovation and therapy development while enabling biotech collaboration for translational progress.
LUNGevity Foundation Career & Research Awards sit under LUNGevity's lung cancer research program and support career development, translational work, and partner awards. The foundation is a U.S. nonprofit, and the award umbrella spans global applicants in the structured record, with the research hub built around early detection and improved treatment. The umbrella includes grants from $100,000 to $500,000, with a median actual award around $200,000 and an annual cadence. The Career Development Award itself offers up to $300,000 over 3 years, requires a doctoral degree, is limited to the first five years of an initial faculty appointment, and uses a two-step ProposalCentral process with a mentoring plan. Other routes in the family include health equity fellow awards, VA research scholar awards, and translational partner awards. The strongest applications are tightly linked to lung cancer problems such as early detection, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or specific molecular subtypes. LUNGevity also ties awardees into a broader scientific community through training, networking, and its fall science meeting, so the program rewards both good science and the ability to work in a collaborative research environment.
