The LAM Foundation urgently seeks safe and effective treatments, and ultimately a cure, for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) through advocacy and the funding of promising research. It is dedicated to serving the scientific, medical, and patient communities by providing information, resources, and a worldwide network of hope and support. Founded in 1995, the Foundation focuses on supporting women with LAM and their families, engaging the medical and scientific community, and raising funds for research.
The Established Investigator Research Grant by The LAM Foundation aims to provide funding to faculty-level investigators to support the development of new information contributing to LAM Research Priorities. This grant focuses on both hypothesis generating and hypothesis testing, requiring sufficient preliminary data to justify the Foundation's support. Funding of up to $150,000 can be requested for a period of up to three years, with flexibility in duration as per the investigator's request. Unused funds must be returned annually unless otherwise specified or approved. This grant supports the Foundation's broader goals of driving scientific advancements, identifying novel treatments, and improving the quality of life for those affected by LAM.
