BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//Memento EPFL// BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) | 2024 - 5 Calls DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240304 DTSTAMP:20260428T060742Z UID:0995ea6d8e4d0213ffefd4bd15cd0bafb5febddf36112bc7ed29ded4 CATEGORIES:Call for proposal DESCRIPTION:CALL 1. Team Science Award (TSA) on Advancing Therapies Toward s Curing Oncogene-Driven Lung Cancers\n\nAim: Work supported through this mechanism should address important mechanistic questions and developmental therapeutics across the care continuum and have the immediate potential t o increase survivorship. Given the specific interest in the development of novel therapies that could benefit this group of patients in the relative ly near-term\, a clinical trial must either be initially incorporated into the project or be an immediate result of the outcome of the research. It is expected that a program of correlative\, translational research will be proposed that will enhance the understanding of these oncogenic-driven lu ng cancers.\n\nDuration:      48 months\n\nFunding:       $2\,500 \,000\n\nEligibility:    International teams are encouraged and there ar e no citizenship requirements. Eligible teams must be comprised of indepen dent faculty-level researchers providing complementary interdisciplinary e xpertise. The proposal must have a program of 2-3 projects. These projects must be closely integrated and should consist of clinical\, basic and/or translational work. For full details\, eligibility criteria\, and applicat ion instructions\, please refer to the request for proposals.\n\nMore info rmation about the program is available here.\n          \nCALL 2. Minority Career Development Award in Lung Cancer\n\nAim: As minority appl icants must overcome systemic and structural barriers due to race\, ethnic ity\, country of origin\, socioeconomic status\, and/or language\, many le ave academia which further exacerbates the lack of diversity in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and medical fields. To pro vide protected time and mentoring to these trainees\, LCRF funds the Mino rity Career Development Award (CDA) for Lung Cancer. Applications can over a wide range of topics. \n\nDuration:      24 months\n\nFunding:       $150\,000\n\nEligibility:    Minority postdoctoral/clinical f ellows and assistant professors within 10 years of completing their MD and /or PhD degrees. For complete details\, eligibility criteria\, and applica tion instructions\, please refer to the request for proposals.\n\nMore inf ormation about the program is available here.\n          \nCALL 3 : Leading Edge Research Grant Program\n\nAim: The LCRF Leading Edge Resea rch Grant Program aims to fund innovative projects across the full spectru m of basic\, translational\, clinical\, epidemiological\, health services\ , early detection\, disparities\, and social determinants of health resear ch. Applications can cover a wide range of topics.\n\nDuration:      24 months\n\nFunding:       $150\,000\n\nEligibility:    There are no citizenship requirements. Candidates should be post-doctoral researche rs\, clinical fellows\, or early- and mid-career investigators with less t han 10 years’ experience since their initial faculty appointment. \n\nM ore information about the program is available here.\n\nCALL 4 : Research Grant on Early Detection and Pre-Neoplasia in Lung Cancer\n\nAim: Given th e significance and need for early detection of lung cancer and advancement s in molecular screening\, LCRF continues to offer a funding mechanism to support research projects that facilitate or advance the understanding and characterization of pre-neoplasia or approaches for early detection of lu ng cancer. Work supported through this mechanism addresses important ques tions in non-small cell and small cell lung cancer. This funding mechanism is focused on identifying\, characterizing\, and developing approaches an d techniques that will allow early detection and/or risk reduction of lung cancer and gaining insight into pre-neoplastic processes in the lungs. Th e goal is to detect lung cancer at the earliest stages and subsequently in crease survival and survivorship. \n\nDuration:      24 months\n\nFun ding:       $150\,000\n\nEligibility:    There are no citizenship r equirements. Candidates should be post-doctoral researchers\, clinical fel lows\, or early- and mid-career investigators with less than 10 years’ e xperience since their initial faculty appointment. \n\nMore information a bout the program is available here.\n\nCALL 5 : Research Grant on Understa nding Resistance in Lung Cancer\n\nAim: This grant mechanism focuses on un derstanding the development\, prevention\, and therapy of resistance by su pporting research projects that are identifying\, characterizing\, treatin g\, or preventing resistance to therapies in lung tumor cells\, tissues\, mouse models\, and/or patients. Work supported through this mechanism will address important mechanistic questions and developmental therapeutics ac ross histological subtypes of lung cancer (including lung adenocarcinoma\, squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung cancer) and across the care c ontinuum including newly designed targeted therapies and immunotherapies. These studies will enhance the momentum of improving lung cancer outcomes and have the potential to increase survivorship.\n\nDuration:      24 months\n\nFunding:       $150\,000\n\nEligibility:    There are no citizenship requirements. Candidates should be post-doctoral researchers\, clinical fellows\, or investigators with less than 10 years’ experience since their initial faculty appointment.\n\nMore information about the pr ogram is available here\n\nHow to Apply:\n\nApplications should be submitt ed through the online platform ProposalCentral.\n\nAll applications will b e evaluated using a two-stage review process that includes review of lette rs of intent and select full proposals. Only applicants whose LOI is revie wed favorably will be invited to submit a full proposal. A ‘Letter of Su pport’ will be required at full proposal stage\, please reach out to the ReO for assistance with this.\n\nApplication Deadline:             04 March 2024 for all Programs\n\nFurther information\n\n Application portal can be found here\n\nFor any other questions\, please contact the Research Office.
