The American Lung Association Public Health and Public Policy Research Award is intended to support research on and evaluation of existing public policy and programs, as well as pilot and demonstration projects that inject innovative ideas and provide evidence for the development of new public policies impacting lung health.
This grant is not intended to support events, lobbying efforts, or legislative meetings. The Public Health and Public Policy Research Award is for a maximum of $50,000 per year for up to two years. Grants are subject to annual review; the second year of support is based on demonstrating satisfactory progress, as well as the availability of funds from the Lung Association. Requested budget for salary and all other items needs to be justified and will be considered carefully by the review committee. Grant funds may be used for the salary and fringe benefit costs of personnel other than the Applicant.
