Pfizer – LCC – LHF – APQ Award Program

Improving the care and outcomes of Canadians living with metastatic NSCLC

In collaboration with Pfizer, Lung Health Foundation, and the Quebec Lung Association, Lung Cancer Canada offers a grant opportunity seeking proposals for quality improvement initiatives focused on improving the care of outcomes of Canadians living with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a special focus on improving health equity in this setting.

Grant funding and general oversight of the funded projects will be provided directly from Pfizer on behalf of Pfizer and the collaborators.

Grants will be awarded in support of organizations/institutions working to improve the competence and performance of both the healthcare providers and healthcare systems in which they work with the goal of optimizing the care and outcomes of metastatic NSCLC patients with special focus on improving health equity in this setting.

Topics of highlighted interest include, but are not limited to:

1

Improving health equity in metastatic NSCLC by addressing disparities for patients marginalized due to age, race, geography, income or other factors

2

Implementation of value-based healthcare to improve quality of care for patients

3

Encouraging the use of multidisciplinary care models (e.g., nurse navigator, palliative care, psychological/mental health support)

4

Approaches to optimize care throughout the cancer patient experience, including optimal access to clinical trials and evidence-based treatment

Award Amount:

Individual projects requesting up to $100,000 will be considered.

The amount of the grant will depend upon the expert review panel’s evaluation of the proposal and the costs involved, and will be stated clearly in the grant agreement.

Application Timeline:

Each year, the application period is typically open in early April until the end of May. Winners are announced in August.
