REACH Community Grant Program is sponsored by Lung Cancer Initiative. The REACH Community Grant Program aims to empower and support community organizations to fill gaps in lung cancer care within their local communities in North Carolina. This includes funding for new programs or expansion of existing programs that promote lung cancer education and awareness, improve access to care, support complementary healthcare, or advance health equity. While focused on lung cancer, programs that broadly improve lung health and access to care, which could include aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation, may be considered.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
