| Despite being the leading cause of cancer mortality, lung cancer receives far less research funding than any other cancer. That’s why funding from nongovernmental organizations is so critical. The Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) plays a pivotal role in this funding landscape, supporting early-career investigators who if not for our funding, may not receive funding at all.
Our philosophy is simple: scientific discoveries lead to improved outcomes. LCRF provides critical seed funding to the best and brightest investigators, helping establish proof of concept evidence to pave the way for follow-on funding. To date, LCRF has provided 416 research grants totaling over $43 million, the largest amount provided by an organization dedicated to funding lung cancer research. When it comes to research, we can accomplish more together than we can alone. Research is a team sport and our investigators are conducting innovative studies that are leading to lung cancer research discoveries. We have made unprecedented progress in the field of lung cancer research, changing what it means to face a lung cancer diagnosis. The pace of FDA approvals for lung cancer treatments has been accelerating in recent decades. Today, there are more treatment options than ever before. In the past few years, we’ve seen an exponential increase in treatment approvals and expect this trend to continue. This progress wouldn’t be possible without your support. |
