American Association for Cancer Research (AACR): AACR-Johnson & Johnson Lung Cancer Innovation

Proposals should focus on understanding the behaviors that lead to chronic exposures to respiratory carcinogens and how these behaviors can be modified; how chronic exposures produce cellular/genomic damage and how these can be ameliorated; deciphering the types of inflammation that underlie the carcinogenic process; understanding the alterations in innate and adaptive immunity that create an immune-permissive microenvironment; and changes in the pulmonary microbiome that may contribute to carcinogenesis..

Funding: $ 1,500,000 for 3 years.

This project must be implemented by a multi-institutional team, composed of Principal Investigators from at least two, but no more than three, different institutions.

AACR membership is required.
