The past 50 years of lung disease research has blazed a trail that has revolutionized treatment, unlocked secrets of the body's immune systems, and saved millions of lives. People from every walk of life are living healthier, more active lives--thanks to medical breakthrough pioneered by American Lung Association researchers and their colleagues worldwide.
Premature babies are less likely to die for respiratory distress syndrome. People can survive once fatal blood clots. Tuberculosis no longer runs rampart among Americans. Lung transplants dramatically saves lives of people suffering from once fatal chronic disease. And the young and old with chronic lung diseases are treated with improved treatment--genetically-based medications home oxygen therapy, revolutionary non-invasive therapies.
The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health through research, education and advocacy. The American Lung Association Nationwide Research Program fosters basic, clinical and behavioral research designed to find cures and to prevent and relieve the suffering associated with lung disease. The American Lung Association portfolio of awards and grants is unique in its breath and approach to achieving the American Lung Association’s mission.
