LUNG CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION LEADING EDGE RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: March 3, 2025

LOCATION: USA

Lung cancer continues to be the number one cause of cancer deaths worldwide, accounting for an estimated 130,180 deaths annually in the United States alone. Despite being the most common cancer killer of both men and women, lung cancer research remains critically underfunded. To help close this gap and improve outcomes, the goal of the LCRF Leading Edge Research Grant Program is to fund innovative projects across the full spectrum of basic, translational, clinical, epidemiological, health services, early detection, disparities, and social determinants of health research. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Investigators must be affiliated with a non-profit academic or research institution and must be post-doctoral researchers, clinical fellows, or early-career and mid-career investigators with less than ten years’ experience since their initial faculty appointment.

Applicants from US-based and international institutions are eligible to apply and may hold any residency/citizenship status. Any questions regarding eligibility should be directed to the LCRF Grants Office before the submission of an application.

Applicants are prohibited from applying if they have received funding from the LCRF within the last 4 years.

Applicants are prohibited from applying in more than one of LCRF’s funding tracks in the same cycle.

Senior investigators with more than ten years’ experience since faculty appointment are generally not eligible for funding and are encouraged to mentor a junior team member through the application process. However, exceptions will be made for investigators with more than ten years’ experience in other disease areas or topics.

Ineligible investigators with these or other special circumstances may request review by contacting the LCRF grants office (see Inquiries section below) before submitting an application and at least a week before submission deadline.

Ineligible applications and new requests under special circumstances will not be considered after submission deadline.

BENEFIT:

This award provides a maximum of $150,000 in funding over a period of two years.

THE MCGRAW FELLOWSHIP FOR BUSINESS JOURNALISM 

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: March 31, 2025

LOCATION: USA

Are you a journalist with a great idea for a high-impact story that “Follows the Money” but few resources to get it done?

The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism would like to hear from you. The McGraw Fellowship provides editorial and financial support to journalists who need the time and resources to produce a significant investigative or enterprise story that provides fresh insight into an important business, financial, or economic topic. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism is open to anyone with at least five years professional experience in journalism. We support work by freelance journalists, as well as by reporters and editors currently working at a news organization or a journalism non-profit. In the latter case, reporters and editors can apply directly in the name of their organization.

They seek for applicants with a proven ability to report and execute a complex project in their proposed medium; ideally, candidates will also have a strong background or reporting expertise on the subject of their project.

Applicants should submit a well-focused story proposal of no more than three pages through the accompanying online form. Think of it as pitch, much like you would submit to an editor at a newspaper, magazine, audio or digital outlet: give us enough preliminary reporting and documentation to demonstrate that the story is solid. The proposal should highlight what’s new and significant about the story, why it matters and what its potential impact might be.

BENEFIT:

The Fellowship provides a grant of up to $15,000 for each project. The exact amount will depend on the time it takes to complete the project and the expenses needed. Freelance journalists may use some of the funding as a stipend for living expenses during the fellowship.
