2025 Canadian Lung Association: COPD Catalyst Grant for Early Career Investigators

Please complete this form and upload your application to apply to the 2025 Canadian Lung Association: COPD Catalyst Grant Competition. The competition guidelines and the application form can be found on the Canadian Lung Association website. https://www.lung.ca/research

This competition is for Early Career Investigators (ECIs), defined as a researcher who has held an independent research appointment for a period of 0-60 months at the competition deadline.

Applications will be considered for research proposals related to the diagnosis, treatment, and/or mechanism of disease for people living with COPD. Applications deemed outside these areas will be eliminated from the competition.

Catalyst grants are scalable research studies that can be pilot studies, feasibility studies, translational studies, and novel and innovative approaches. Research projects must be new and not the continuation of an existing project.

Applicants should be creative and with the potential to benefit people living with this lung disease. Even though the long-term goals for a project may extend beyond the means and timeline of this grant, within one year the results of Catalyst projects should enable the development of funding proposals that are eligible for submission to national or international peer-reviewed competitions.

Full Application deadline: November 6, 2024 by 16:00EDT

Award Period: April 1, 2025 - March 31, 2026
