The Australian Lung Foundation / Ludwig Engel

Grant-in-Aid for Physiological Research

The Australian Lung Foundation invites applications for the Ludwig Engel Grant-in-Aid valued at $5,000 - to assist research in respiratory physiology. For the purpose of this Grant-in-Aid, Physiological Research is the use of any methodologies directed towards the elucidation of organ function and its understanding in a precise, quantitative manner. The funds may be used as a contribution towards equipment, personnel or other costs incurred in the conduct of research projects.

The Grant-in-Aid was established in memory of Professor Ludwig Engel who died in 1992. Ludwig Engel was a distinguished Respiratory Physiologist who had made an outstanding contribution to respiratory science and medicine, both by his own endeavours and his influence on his colleagues. Through contributions of his many colleagues throughout Australasia and many other countries, the donations from pharmaceutical and medical technology industry and the Thoracic Society of Australian and New Zealand, a capital base has been established so that an annual Grant-in-Aid can be made.

The judging criteria for the submitted application will be:

The recipient must submit a written progress report six (6) months into the project and a final written report at the end of the twelve month period. Monies will be paid on the basis of 75% on signing of documentation at the commencement of the project and 25% on acceptance of the final report.

Any publication(s) arising from this research should acknowledge The Australian Lung Foundation / Ludwig Engel Grant-in-Aid as a source of support.

The winner will be notified in January 2009. Grantees are expected to commence their project early in the year of the award and be a financial member of the TSANZ.

The award will be officially presented by The Australian Lung Foundation at the 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting of the TSANZ at Darwin in April 2009.

The closing date for applications is 5.00pm Friday 31^st October 2008.

All applications must follow The Australian Lung Foundation's official application form structure (set out below).
