Lung Foundation Australia
Tips for Applicants
Note: Lung Foundation Australia is an operating charity that provides services and funds research, not a traditional grantmaking foundation. They invest in research through programs like the Hope Research Fund which supports early career researchers in pulmonary fibrosis and lung disease. Those seeking support should contact their Lung Health Helpline for patient services, or inquire about research funding opportunities through their research team. They value lived experience and co-design approaches, particularly with priority populations.
Giving Philosophy
Invests in lung health research, particularly supporting early career researchers through programs like the Hope Research Fund. Prioritizes lived experience in all decision-making, focusing on equity for priority populations including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, rural/remote communities, and those with chronic lung conditions. Emphasizes preventative health, early detection, and reducing stigma around lung disease.
