Description
Firland Foundation’s Research Grants support small, investigator-initiated projects in their initial phase, primarily related to tuberculosis. The foundation occasionally funds work on other chronic lung diseases. It favors new or pilot projects needing seed support over ongoing programs or projects that could be covered by an established program budget. Research focused on clinical care and outcomes is preferred over basic science.
The program emphasizes work serving medically underserved or economically disadvantaged people, with a preference for projects that have a substantial presence in Western Washington. Support can also cover equipment for respiratory assessment and care, prevention of respiratory disease, or maintenance of respiratory health, including spirometers, oximeters, and similar devices.
