The AACR-Johnson & Johnson Lung Cancer Innovation Science Grants represent a joint effort to address the need for promoting and supporting collaborative cancer research. Moreover, the research area includes digital therapeutics and smoking cessation biomarkers/behavioral phenotyping, to bolster the understanding of how to intercept the lung cancer. As such the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is accepting the application for Lung Cancer Innovation Grants.

ACCR will accept proposals for new ideas and innovative approaches that have direct application and relevance to lung cancer prevention and interception. Moreover, the proposed research should be translational in nature. Also, it should include a clinical component with an endpoint relevant to improving the detection or treatment of lung cancer.

AACR-Johnson & Johnson Lung Cancer Innovation Grants

In association with Johnson & Johnson, AACR is providing a subsidiary grant of $1,000,000 to successful candidates for innovation in treatment and interception of Lung Cancer.

Who is eligible for AACR-Johnson & Johnson Grants?

• At least two, but no more than three, co-applicants from distinct institutions may work in a team. Lead Principal Investigator will direct the team and can include up to two additional co-Principal Investigators. The Lead PI is responsible for the application, disbursement of funds to the various research projects, the conduct of the projects, and progress reporting.
• Principal Investigators (PIs) must have a doctoral degree in the biomedical sciences or in a related field. Moreover, they must not currently be a candidate for a further doctoral or professional degree.
• In addition to the co-PIs, the Project Team should also include at least one young investigator. While not a co-PI, this young investigator should play a key role in the project.
• AACR will accept the applications from independent investigators at all levels. The candidates may have an affiliation with an academic, medical, or research institution anywhere in the world.
