- The Rising Tide/LUNGevity Team Award to Target Mechanisms of Resistance will fund high-impact interventional clinical trials that seek to develop therapeutic strategies targeting shared mechanisms of resistance in oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Projects funded are expected to further our knowledge of shared mechanisms of resistance across oncogene-driven LUAD and how they can be targeted using novel pharmaceutical agents (monotherapies or combination therapies). The program has no geographical restrictions and is open to both US and non-US applicants. This is a $1,500,000, three-year team award; the involvement of at least two institutions is required.
