OUCH-Int’l and LCRF Research Grant Program on the Effects of Air Pollution and Climate Change on Carcinogenesis and Lung Cancer Prevalence

Project topics include, but are not limited to:

Impact of climate change on cancer incidence and prevalence
Role of screening for lung cancer in a warming climate, particularly in never-smokers or anyone who falls outside of the screening guidelines
Understanding the impact of extreme weather events on lung cancer prevalence and outcomes (e.g., extreme weather events, severe heat, access to care)
Investigations into the role of air pollution and lung cancer in never-smokers
Research focused on the effects and interactions of environmental carcinogens and ways to mitigate their impact
Research into the mechanisms by which PM2.5 and other environmental carcinogens cause lung cancer
