Grants from the LAM Foundation support research into lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).

Pilot and Feasibility Grant - The objective of this grant is to provide funds to encourage the development and testing of new hypotheses and/or new methods in research areas relevant to LAM. Proposed work must be hypothesis generating or hypothesis testing, reflecting innovative approaches to important questions in LAM research or development of novel methods, and providing sufficient preliminary data to justify the Foundation’s support. 

Francis X. McCormack, MD, Career Development Award - This grant aims to provide support for both postdoctoral research fellows and investigators with less than five years in a faculty position who intend to pursue a career in LAM research. 

Established Investigator Research Grant - The objective of this grant is to provide funds to faculty level investigators for technician support and supplies to encourage the development of new information that contributes to the understanding of the basic biology of LAM expression, and the pathogenesis/management of LAM. In addition, consideration will be given to those projects that provide insight into the development of information that may contribute to new therapies for LAM. All proposals must be hypothesis generating or hypothesis testing and provide sufficient preliminary data to justify The LAM Foundation’s support.

Travel Grant - The LAM Foundation sends out a “Call for Abstracts” prior to certain LAM International Research Conferences. Platform Presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts based on scientific merit and thematic considerations. A travel grant will be awarded to those selected as Platform Presenters.
