The CHEST Foundation expanded its grant offerings in 2016 with the addition of two new research grants that will broaden the program’s reach and scope. As of February 1, the foundation began accepting applications for research grants, community service projects, and distinguished scholar research projects. These grants have a powerful impact on our grantees’ ability to champion lung health, and they also assist young investigators like Dr. Kerri Johannson in gaining research and project management skills, while assisting in advancing their careers.
“Being awarded a grant is validation that somebody else believes in your idea and that your project could be fruitful and contribute meaningfully to the field,” stated Johannson. “It actually begets more opportunities. I am forever grateful to the CHEST Foundation for providing me with this opportunity.” The CHEST Foundation’s Clinical Research Grant in Pulmonary Fibrosis, along with Genentech, funded her 2013 project, Ambient Air Pollution Exposure and Clinical Outcomes in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Dr. Johannson’s research focuses on analyzing air pollution exposures and short-term variability in lung function for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Her patients were given home breathing machines, so they could do breathing tests at home to show how their lung function fluctuated over shorter periods of time. “I was interested in looking at whether or not and how that correlated with their air quality in the regional area.” She said about her project, “No one has ever looked at it before. It’s usually a long-term study, such as every 3 months or changes over a year in clinical trials, but it turns out there is actually a large portion of patients with a lot of short-term variability that has an impact for clinical trial outcomes and measures.”
The deadline for applications is quickly approaching. CHEST Foundation grants help make your research and community service projects possible. Please take advantage of our substantive grant program, and remember that the submissions will be accepted until April 30. How will you help champion lung health?
