Research grants from the American Thoracic Society
There are two Tobacco-Dependence Research Fund Awards; the first of which is specifically for collaboration with investigators in Asia.
ATS/ALA of Hawaii Research Grant
International Research Project US-Asia
* (One grant available) This research award has been made possible by a generous educational grant from the ALA of Hawaii and the ATS Foundation.
The grant will be targeted to research in basic science, genetics, neurogenetics, pharmacology, neuropharmacology, or clinical intervention and treatment in the area of tobacco dependence. This grant will be specifically restricted for the funding of a collaborative international research project between investigators in the US and Asia. Preference will be given to projects that, because of their novelty require bridge funding before becoming competitive for other funding mechanisms. Applicants may request up to $50,000/year for 3 years for salaries, supplies or a combination of these two. Applicants must meet the criteria listed below. A primary goal of the ATS research program is to enable new faculty-level investigators to make the transition to careers as established investigators. Partnerships between junior and senior investigators are strongly encouraged, particularly for new investigators who are within 1 to 5 years of the completion of their training. At least one of the investigators must be an ATS member at the time of application, and the principal investigator must be an ATS member at the time that the grant is awarded. Indirect costs will not be paid to the sponsoring institution.
