    The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2024 Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) Concept Award, which aims to fund innovative and high-risk research to advance lung cancer treatment and management. The program is part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and will have a funding availability of $25 million, expected to support ten awards. Key deadlines include a pre-application submission by May 28, 2024, and a full application deadline by June 17, 2024. All applicants must address at least one of the identified Areas of Emphasis, including health disparities, cancer biology, prevention, detection, and treatment strategies. Eligibility is open to both intramural and extramural organizations, and Principal Investigators must hold a postdoctoral or equivalent position. Notably, research focused on mesothelioma is not accepted, and applications must emphasize relevance to military health. The funding mechanism is structured to foster groundbreaking research that may tend to develop detailed insights and methodologies applicable to lung cancer. Throughout the review process, applications will be assessed for innovation, impact, and research strategy, with a strong focus on delivering preliminary data that furthers future investigations in lung cancer research.
