Grants alert (cont.)

Eligibility: Unrestricted.

Areas: DOD said this award mechanism allows

Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue

serendipitous observations by supporting high-risk

studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new

avenues for investigation. Areas of emphasis include but

are not limited to those that: identify innovative strategies

for prevention of the occurrence of lung cancer; identify

innovative strategies for the screening and early

detection of lung cancer; and understand the molecular

mechanisms of initiation and progression to lung cancer.
