Since the lungs are in constant contact with both the outside air and the body’s internal environment, they are uniquely vulnerable to disease. Although some diseases that attack the lungs can be managed, most lung diseases lower the quality of life for patients, and many are ultimately fatal. Research is the key that will unlock the door to a better tomorrow for all people with lung disease, and the Association’s Research Program is a critical component of meeting this charge.
The American Lung Association of the City of New York offers grants for work aimed at the prevention and treatment of lung disease. Applications are due September 4, 2007. For more information, click here.
