Lung Cancer Research Program Funding Opportunity (LCRP)

The Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) will support innovative and competitive research focused on the development of integrated components to identify, treat, and manage early curable lung cancer, and the establishment of a tissue bank.

The LCRP is interested in research proposals that address the following Areas of Emphasis:

• Identification or development of non-invasive or minimally invasive tools to improve the detection of the initial stages of lung cancer.
• Identification and development of tools for screening or early detection of lung cancer. Screening may include, but is not limited to, computed tomography scans, X-rays, other imaging, biomarkers, genetics/genomics/proteomics, and assessment of risk factors.
• Understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to clinically significant lung cancer.
• Identification of the mechanisms that lead to the development of the various types of lung cancer.
• Identification of innovative strategies for prevention and treatment of early lung cancer.
• Understanding predictive and prognostic markers to identify responders and non-responders.
• Understanding acquired resistance to treatment.

The FY09 LCRP is pleased to announce the release of the Concept Award.  The Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, including the intent of the award mechanism, eligibility, and submission deadlines and Application Instructions and General Information have been posted on the Grants.gov (http://grants.gov) and CDMRP (http://cdmrp.army.mil) websites.
