Finding Cures
Research is central to the American Lung Association mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Our program is unique in that it supports researchers at a critical juncture in their careers to help ensure that there will be an adequate supply of investigators dedicated to lung disease.
Now more than ever, researchers are finding themselves on the precipice of limitless medical discoveries. As we look to the future, research is the hope that one day we will be able to reverse, treat, prevent and, ultimately, find cures for all people suffering from lung disease.
