The mission of the American Lung Association is to save lives by enhancing lung health and preventing lung disease, with a focus on defeating lung cancer, creating a tobacco-free future, championing clean air for all, and improving the quality of life for those affected by lung disease and their families.
The Public Policy & Public Health Award by the American Lung Association supports research that evaluates and develops public policies and programs aimed at lung health. It funds innovative projects and evidence generation for new policies, excluding support for events, lobbying, or legislative meetings. This grant offers up to $50,000 annually for a maximum of two years and is open to researchers across disciplines including public policy, economics, political science, sociology, law, and related fields.
