EGFR Resisters and LUNGevity Foundation have issued a Request for Application for the EGFR-Positive lung cancer research program.

Funded research is expected to include at least one aim that is translational and must be directly related to improvement in patient outcomes and/or lead to a clinical trial. The EGFR-Positive award is open to researchers at U.S. and international institutions. At the time of application, an international candidate must name a co-principal investigator who is employed at a U.S. institution. A successful applicant may receive up to $200,000 over an award term of two years.

The Request for Applications will be posted as of June 18 on the LUNGevity website and on the proposalCENTRAL website. For more information, contact Margery Jacobson at mjacobson@LUNGevity.org or 312-407-6109.
