Team Grants in Lung Health

Backgrounder

Through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Team Grants in Lung Health, the Government of Canada and partners are investing $19.3M in nine new research projects to address existing and future threats to lung health.

Through this interdisciplinary research, the teams will improve our understanding of how biological, social, environmental, and behavioural factors affect respiratory health.
