The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer announced the second annual joint fellowship award to support research on the early detection of lung cancer.

The objective of the ALCF-IASLC Fellowship Award for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer is to identify brilliant, young, “out of the box” thinkers/researchers who can deliver meaningful and measurable results for the early detection of lung cancer that have a high probability of near-term benefit to lung cancer patients or individuals at risk, as well as to provide an opportunity for young researchers to learn new cutting-edge technologies and take this expertise back to their home country.
