Over the last one hundred years, our research history has lead to important medical breakthroughs. New treatments and cures have provided a bright light through the darkness of suffering experienced by people who have lung disease.

The American Lung Association® of Alaska offers a limited number of grants in Alaska to support fellowships and other training for physicians and health care professionals with interest in the care, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of lung disease, and to support research for those same purposes. We are interested in supporting both clinical and basic research directed toward the American Lung Association® of Alaska's program goals, with priority given to projects related to asthma, the impact of air pollution on lung health, and smoking among youth.

It is the American Lung Association® of the Alaska's practice to provide seed money for investigators to start a project, and we prefer projects that can provide a definable result attributable to the Association's contribution.
