Research

Research offers hope and each year, research grows our ability to support advances in diagnosis, treatment and hopefully one day the prevention and cure of lung diseases. Our research is underpinned by our multi-pillar strategy, prioritises fundraising, direct investment in research grants and awards, sector partnerships, and consumer engagement. We aim to ensure that Australia’s lung research agenda is underpinned by the lived experience of people impacted by lung diseases and lung cancer.

Giving hope for a cure

Through our Hope Research Program we can develop early and mid-career researchers and lung-focused research to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for people living with lung disease and lung cancer. When you make a donation or bequest to lung disease research, you are directly improving the lived experience of people with lung disease or lung cancer.

Our research program

Lung Foundation Australia is committed to supporting research that helps achieve our vision of Healthy Lungs for All.

As a national organisation representing people living with lung conditions, we invest in research that is based on strong evidence and real community needs. We help people take an active role in their own care by giving them clear information, confidence to speak up for the treatment and support they deserve, and resources that help health professionals provide the best possible care. Research gives our community hope and provides clearer pathways to understand and manage their lung health, from their first breath to their last.

Our Research Strategy 2026–2030 sets out how we will support high‑quality research, strengthen the voice of people with lived experience, and make a meaningful impact across lung health in Australia. It ensures our services, programs and partnerships continue to reflect what matters most to our community.

This strategy represents an important step forward for Lung Foundation Australia. It will guide how we invest in research and partnerships so we can deliver the greatest benefit for the people and families we support.
