The LCFA/IASLC Translational Thoracic Oncology Research Grants are a collaborative initiative between the Lung Cancer Foundation of America (LCFA) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). The program is designed to advance innovative translational research in lung cancer, with a focus on projects that have the potential for immediate or near-term impact on patient care. Emphasis is placed on supporting early-career investigators aiming to improve the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of thoracic malignancies, as well as reducing disparities and improving outcomes for underrepresented populations.
