Organizations Filed Purposes:
Uniting Against Lung Cancer primarily funds scientific research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, including in never smokers, while also raising awareness of the disease and need for research.
Uniting Against Lung Cancer is dedicated to funding innovative research and raising awareness to find a cure for lung cancer. To date, UALC has granted over $12.7 million in research funding, distributed through 134 research grants in 26 states.
Research Grants:In FY2015, UALC awarded twelve (12) two-year lung cancer research grants to awardees at leading research centers across the country totaling $1,200,000. UALC also partnered with other organizations, Free to Breathe and the American Lung Association, to fund the 2014 Impact Award in collaboration with the Department of Defense. The DoD budget for lung cancer research suffered from significant cuts due to sequestration, severely limiting the agencys ability to fund top quality lung cancer research. The joint effort committed support of $384,740 to fund top-quality research that would otherwise go unfunded.
Raising Awareness:UALC promotes awareness of lung cancer and the need for funding research through a multi-media marketing approach, which includes website and social media presence, fact sheets, educational newsletters, event signage, e-blasts, awareness videos, and national and local public relations.
Collaborative Meetings:UALC hosted its fourth Annual Collaboration in Action Series, bringing together our grant recipients, the UALC Medical Committee, and our supporters and lung cancer advocates to collaborate and learn about the latest advances in lung cancer research. This two-day series included the Insights Into Research Seminar, Investigator Meeting and Medical Committee Advisory Meeting.
