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 New York offers grants for work aimed at the prevention and treatment of lung disease. Applications are due September 5, 2008. For more information, click here.

Asthma Clinical Research Centers
The Asthma Clinical Research Centers (ACRC) network is an American Lung Association-sponsored research program seeking to conduct large clinical trials that will provide useful information important to the direct care of people who have asthma.
The network, with 20 clinical centers and a data coordinating center, is the largest of its kind conducting clinical trials involving large numbers of subjects. Thus, the ACRC is playing a unique and important role in asthma research.
