Description
The Public Health and Public Policy Research Award, offered by the American Lung Association, funds research projects that stimulate and inform public policy on issues such as healthy air, climate change, and lung health. The program supports evaluation of existing policies and public health programs, as well as innovative projects that provide evidence for new policy development.
